Resolution type is field in Jira that usually can be seen on last step popup window prior closing a Jira task. It is associated with workflow of just particular issue types, e.g., “Support Request”, “Bug” as part of the Resolution screen but it can be attached to any other issue type.

How to manage available resolution types?

In Jira when navigated to Jira Settings > Issues > Resolutions all available resolution options will be seen. Default ones include Done, Won’t Do, Duplicate, Cannot Reproduce, Complete, Fixed, Superseded, Descoped, Withdrawn, Answered, Not a defect, Rejected, Won’t Fix, Third-party issue. So, you may consider refining these to less or more to align best to your company operation processes.
