How to use the same workflow but have different resolutions between projects

[p.noack@samsung.com]

I have a workflow that many projects user.  I like to re-use workflows.  I brought on a new project and the only minor change that this project needs is for the resolution values to be different.  Currently I control what resolutions a project will see through the resolve transition property jira.field.resolution.include

This particular workflow lists 4 resolutions.  The new project I am creating only needs 3 of those 4 resolutions.

I was wondering if there was some means of doing a post function that would either strip out that 4th resolution type or if it could list the resolution types for that one project.

I have done something before on a shared workflow in the create transition with ScriptRunner workflow function - Custom script post-function  that checked what project it was.  if it was a specific project there was a list of users that needed to be added as watcher at creation.  

Is there some means of doing this for the resolution field in the resolve transition?  I realize it is two different things.

Thanks for any advice you have.

Not without a bit of code, because it's the same workflow.

What you could do is have two transitions that do the same thing, but

1) Have a condition on one saying "if project 1, allow this transtion", and another saying "if project 2, allow this transition"

2) Use different jira.field.resolution.include(s) on the transitions

That seemed like a totally evil thing to do but now that I implemented your suggestion it is pretty slick.  I just needed to make sure the name of my transition was evident that it was moving the issue to resolved.

Excellent suggestion!  Thank you for your help!

If you have Adaptavist Scriptrunner for JIRA Server, you can use a Behavior to accomplish this with very little coding. 

This article on the documentation covers the exact scenario: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/behaviours/restricting-priority-and-resolution.html

Scriptrunner is a good solution for a lot of things :-)  That's why Adaptavist chased Jamie for so long!
