Why are closed tickets showing up in open requests?

Tom Feist-Wilson

Hi,

Why are does the open requests not filter out those that are marked as resolved/closed?

I tired following the information on this page but it appears out of date for the current version of Jira service desk.

The Status that we have has the "Category" set to done, but there seem to be no other ways of controlling this!?

Once again very frustrating that stuff gets updated on Jira but without proper documentation

Thanks in advance if you're able to help!

Hi @Tom Feist-Wilson,

This is because the issues don't have a value set for Resolution. Open requests are not based on the status of your requests, but on there being a value in the resolution field.

You'll have to make sure that a status transition to a done status in your workflow also fills out the resolution. That can be done through a post function where that resolution is set automaticallu (Update issue field) or by requiring your users to enter a resolution value in a transition screen.

That page you've found is not out of date.

Take a look at the three closed-but-not issues - what is their resolution set to?

Ahhhhh, I see now! Thank you.

I see that it's the transition that controls the resolution, not the status itself!! I was looking everywhere in the workflows and in status to see how to set it from the status.

For the benefit of others that may find this post in the future:

On the Workflows page you have to go to the Diagram tab of the workflow when you're editing it, then it helps to check on the "Show transition labels", then click on the text of the transition label to show the options and Post Functions is shown at the bottom. Image attached below:

Ps: Sorry for the whinging :P (I have found out of date info in the past, but not this time, I just needed to understand the nuance of transition and status better!)

I have set the transition's post function for "Resolution set to Done" for both my Deployed and Cancelled statuses, but those issues are still appearing in my All Open queue. I was sure to publish my changes to the workflow. Any ideas? Did I do it wrong? Thanks!

Same issue here!

I even tested it with the default workflow that has the proper post function configurated.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Can you check what the resolution is set to, on an issue moved to "done" after you changed and published the workflow?
