Update closed ticket to resolved

[Kevin Baidas]

I had an automation process that was not resolving tickets when the status was transitioned.  That has been resolved.

I have 4 tickets that are in the closed status but still showing unresolved.  How do I edit those 4 tickets to become resolved?

Hi Kevin,

For the current issues, you will need to add a self looping transition to the closed status (the transition goes from Closed back to itself (or whatever the status name is)). In that transition, set a condition that only administrators can execute the status. Then also add a post function to set the Resolution field. 

Save and publish the workflow. Then on the issue, you should be able to execute the new looping transition to set the Resolution field. 

Afterwards, you can edit the workflow and remove that looping transition if you like because it should not be needed again if you put the other post function in place.

Or, if you have a transition from Closed to a prior status, move it back to the prior status and move it back to Closed (assuming that the Close transition sets resolution correctly).
