Bulk transition to "CLOSED" without changing "Resolution"

[Sean Roberts]

How can issues be transitioned in bulk to "CLOSED" without changing the "Resolution"?

The field was set when they transitioned to "RESOLVED" so we shouldn't be altering again when it transitions to "CLOSED".

Hi Sean - Just make sure that the transition to CLOSED does not include any post functions that update the Resolution field.

That doesn't appear to be the problem.

We can manually transition from RESOLVED to CLOSED without setting anything.

And we managed to use "Project Automation" to hack a "Bulk Operation":
- Scheduled for a specific time, provided the JQL with the action to transition from RESOLVED to CLOSED

Which identifies this as a problem in Bulk Operations.
