Workflow Logic Clarification - Incidents

Tuesday, July 22, 2025

In a standard workflow for incidents, when the status changes to Resolved, is it expected that the Closed on Date will auto-populate? 

Is it true or false that when the status is changed to "Closed"? Only then will the Closed On Date reflect the date? 

Please clarify.

Hello,

Yes, that is right - both statuses will auto-populate Closed on Date and this currently works as designed: status 'Resolved' and status 'Closed' have the same behavior in this case.

You can read more about incident statuses here: https://spiradoc.inflectra.com/Spira-Administration-Guide/Template-Incidents/#edit-statuses

Thanks for confirming. Is there a way it can be controlled? Perhaps a workaround ?

I don't think there is any workaround at this moment for that - all the statuses considered as closed auto-populate Closed on Date and it is designed to behave so.

However, we can register a enhancement to consider this functionality in future.
For that we would need some additional details described in KB698 - How We Handle Customer Enhancement Requests.
