I know this one is really old, but I just came up with a workaround since this is still not possible in 6.3.x and possibly later. Assuming that all issues in query are in the "Closed" status:

  1. Create a screen with the Resolution Field
  2. Modify the workflow(s) that are being used to include a transition loop to the same Closed status 
  3. Add the newly created Resolution Screen to the transition
  4. Use the Transition Issues Bulk Change function
  5. The function will expose all fields that are on the transition screen (Resolution, Comment)
  6. Add the desired resolutions
  7. Back out changes to the workflow

 

You may need to make adjustments to this depending on how many statuses and workflows are involved.

Yup. The workflow loop works perfectly. Just allowed "Allow all statuses to transition into..." my "Done" status and could transition issues with updating the resolution.

You can use the script runner plugin which has a built-in script to bulk change resolutions:

This plugin does the job, when you need to fix current Resolution field value.

But if issue resolution is empty, bulk set Resolution action forgets to set technical "resolution date" which has impact on reports (standard, from apps or custom...)

Is it there on the screen for all selected issues?

Ahmet Kilic _catworkx November 12, 2019

for individual issue yes, but on bulk screen there is no Resolution field.

Where could be gone :)

You can do this but only if you add the resolution field on to the screen. Add the field to "Edit" screen, bulk "Edit" to change the value and then remove it from screen to avoid people making changes accidently.

Sri Ranjan July 23, 2013

We do have "Resolution" field on the Edit Screen but its not showing up for bulk edit

Michael Voronkov October 20, 2014

Correct - adding Resolution to issue Edit Screen does not solve the problem, bulk edit still doesn't exposes it. But I can edit Resolution on individual issues.
