Hi Keong,
Thank you for feedback.

I believe the way it works is that Resolution is Unresolved by default upon 
creation of an issue and stays in that state until Jira is "Delivered" (aka 
Resolved in the Atlassian default workflow naming convention)  or "Closed.
The Resolution field should be visible when we transition to those two states; 
however, that is not how LF has set it up on some of the projects.  

We can correct this by asking LF to only make Resolution a visible/editable 
field only in cases where we are transitioning to Delivered or Closed.
I think Jira always intended to allow users to update Resolution field since it 
provides multiple default Resolution tags. If a user does not manually update 
the Resolution, then everything is just marked Done, which does not provide 
enough insight to what true disposition of a ticket. 

Also, on Reopen, the Resolution should be reset to "Unresolved"

Maybe LF can comment more on this.

Thanks, Randa

Hi Randa,

Just wanted to point out that when a user manually sets the "Resolution" field 
in JIRA, the server also automatically sets the "Resolved Date" field, even if 
the "Resolution" is "Unresolved". This is already causing confusion in JIRA and 
its widgets because some of them use "Resolved Date" as an indication of the 
case being "resolved", whereas others filtering on the text of the "Resolution" 
field.

Taking a specific example, 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jira.onap.org_browse_SDNC-2D357&d=DwIFaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=kyPZ229JImvwwKH-78nlyg&m=y4YMrDywk9gMLi63Yk9d89OwlPwEosfDBV034KrPWlw&s=Vsb2z49uLt6_I9NnsxT_kHkAaAP58l_zAmJ-WV99MAM&e=
 is currently "Unresolved" with "Resolved Date" of "28/Jun/18".
When viewed on the Agile board, it is displayed with a "strikethrough" style, 
indicating it's "resolved" and when using burn-down charts widgets, etc, it 
will be counted towards "resolved" cases, throwing off all the stats.

Instead of direct changes to the "Resolution" field, it should be part of the 
workflow buttons, so that the "post transition functions" can do things like:
- set the "Resolution" field
- clear the "Resolved Date"

to more appropriate values, reducing confusion.
