Bulk clear the issue resolution

Use case

Resolutions are a great way to track issues in Jira and check what has been done and what still needs to be done. But from time to time resolutions might be set even though the issues aren't finished, yet.

With the following rule the resolution will be removed from all issues that are not in status category "Done".


⚒️ Configuration

Manual trigger

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.

Add a Trigger → Manual

No further configuration needed. The rule will only be executed if a user hits the Execute button.

JQL Selector

Add Selector → JQL Selector

JQL Query

Use the following Expression:

Bash
statusCategory != Done and resolution is not empty

Update field action

Next to the JQL Selector click on Add → Action → Update field

Field

Choose Resolution

Update to

Choose No value - clear field

📹 Screencast

This is how the configuration above should look like on your screen
