Resolution bluk change

I am trying to change a bulk of states' status from unresolved to resolved. However, when I try to do that I don't get (or I can't find an option) that allows me to change the status. Nor using a bulk change neither individually.

Is there any configuration that I have to change?

PS: I've already added jira.issue.editable as true in the state

Ok, let's start with the things you have wrong:

You talk about resolution but then go on to say "option to change status". Do not mix up resolution and status, they are two totally separate things. To change status, you must use transitions, not edits. Resolution changes by editing (and if you are doing them correctly, only during transitions)
The property you have added is a waste of time, edit is controlled by the permissions on the project. I'm not sure how you got there!

Now. To bulk change resolutions, you need to jump through some hoops, because if you have set up your system correctly, then you can't "edit" it. In Jira, the way to set a resolution is to have it on a transition screen to ask the users for it, or set it with post-functions. It should never appear on a create or edit action.

Because it does not appear on edit screens, you can not bulk-edit it easily. The most simple way to do it is wait until your users are not active, add "resolution" to the "edit" screen for the issues, use the "edit" function in bulk-edit to set them, then remove the field from the screen before your users edit issues and set it at the wrong time.
