Symptoms

You want to be able to track who resolved an issue in JIRA from the Issue Navigator.

Resolution

This involves adding a third-party plugin - 'JIRA Enhancer Plugin' which is not supported by Atlassian

  1. Install the JIRA Enhancer Plugin

  2. Add a custom field in JIRA of the type 'Last Resolution User', which is provided by the JIRA Enhancer Plugin

    See more about Custom Fields

  3. Add the newly added custom field to JIRA's Issue Navigator view as explained here: Customizing your Issue Navigator

  4. Search results in JIRA's Issue Navigator should now show a column of what user resolved the issue last
