How can I let the user only choose from a selection of resolutions?

[Deleted user]

Hi, for one of my Projects I want that the user has less options while choosing a resolution. Normally the user kann chose between 10. For my project I only want him to be able to choose between 5 options. Is there anyway to solve this problem?

@[deleted] Both @Danyal Iqbal and @Alexey Matveevanswers are correct. From experience I suggest you use the jira.field.resolution.include option. Using the exclude option will require you update the workflow any time you add a new resolution. Using include you'll only need to touch it if you add a new one you want to add to the list.

Hi Joe, thanks a lot for your answer. It works very good with one resolution. How can I also add more resolutions to the command?

You add the resolution IDs as a comma separated string: 

jira.field.resolution.include =1,2,3

Hello,

You can use worflow properties for it.

Resolution is a global field by default i.e a new resolution is available in all projects and issue types. However, you could restrict resolutions based on issue types/workflows. Please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-3821 for the introduction of this feature. As a quick hint, you can use workflow properties to restrict the resolutions.
