@RAMCEL MAGNAYE ,

What you could do, is configure the 'jira.field.resolution.exclude' transition property (or ...include) on each of the related workflows, to only show the desired Resolutions. Since each issue type can have a different workflow, I believe this should allow you to reach your goal :)

Hi Ramcel,

You should be able to do that by adding Contexts for the Custom field - each one based on Issue Type. 

Go to Settings > Issues > Custom fields

Search for your custom field and then click the 3 dots menu to the right. Select Contexts and Default value.

Once you get there, click on Add new context link near the top. 

Add a name and then select the Issue type and the values for the field.

i mean the resolution field 

[John Funk]

No, you can't do that with the Resolution field because it is a system field and can't be altered. But you could create a custom field and use that in a transition screen and then have an automation rule that updates the Resolution field when the Custom field is updated.

@John Funk ,

You can only specify one custom field context for each project.
