How do you get the story to stay as unresolved resolution when you edit a "open" story?

We have stories with a line across appearing closed visually that are still in an open status. I noticed that the resolution no longer stays in "unresolved" when you go and edit a story.  Is this why were are experiencing this problem?

I only want a resolution to be selected when we mark a story "done".

What setup needs to be modified?
