I noticed that the "Resolve" UI Action button does not populate the closure date (closed_at) field if left blank. Is there an intentional reason for this? I would think this would be straightforward to provide OOTB.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi there,
Closed will be set when the Incident is closed. Resolved is not closed. Not much more to it.
Out-of-the-box there is a Resolved at field, which is populated fine upon Resolving the Incident.
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi @Joseph Warner,
Yes. I agree with Mark. Closed time will be updated when Incident gets closed.
To update resolved date time use below scripts:
current.resolved_at = new GlideDateTime();
current.update();
Thanks,
Sagar Pagar

Like I mentioned, resolved at is already set out-of-the-box.
