who exactly closed the task

[Ivan Andrieiev]

Is it possible to determine in the filter who exactly closed the task?

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev 

Not natively - there's no "Resolved By" field.

You could create one though, and populate it using Automation? Then you could reference this in your Filter/Issue Search as a column :)

---

Custom Field

Create a Custom Field to house this information - either a...

• User Picker; for Company-managed Projects or a...
• People Field; restricted to a single user, for Team-managed Projects

---

Automation Rule

The rule will look something like this...

• Trigger: Field Value Changed
  • Field = Resolution
  • Change Type = Value Added
• Condition: Issue Fields Condition
  • Field = Resolution
  • Condition = is resolved
• Action: Edit Issue
  • Field = <Custom Field Here>
    • Value = {{initiator}}

---

A few notes on this rule...

• {{initiator}} is a smart value, and references the user who triggered the rule dynamically
• If it's possible to reopen Issues, I'd recommend clearing the Custom Fields' value when this happens. This can be done using either...
  • Additional Conditions/Actions in this Automation Rule or...
  • A Post-function/Workflow Rule for the Workflow

If you choose the Automation Rule option for clearing the field - I would...

• Remove the Change Type from the Trigger
• Use an If/Else Block Condition
• Use Conditions to check if the Resolution is empty or not, and set Actions accordingly

Let us know what you think!

Hi @Max Foerster - K15t  @Ste Wright  

this is really cool, thanks.

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev,

This is not possible to say with 100% certainty. You will have to look at the issue's history. But you could consider writing this information into a custom field when the issue is closed. Then you can display the field as part of the filter.

Best, Max
