Specifying an issue resolution transition condition?

Alister Cordiner

I have created a Jira transition called "Abandon Issue". I would like this transition to be used for closing issues with any resolution other than "Fixed". I have added the following transition condition:

The field Resolution will have to be not equal to value 'Fixed'. Compared as String.

However, it's not working. When I click the "Abandon Issue" button, I can choose "Fixed" in the issue resolution screen and the issue transitions to "Closed" without any error messages. What am I doing wrong?
