Using jira.field.resolution.include to restrict resolutions per project

Say I have five projects, each with its own workflow. I have 15 resolutions defined, and only three apply to any given project, but currently all of them show in the resolutions field for all projects. 

I found the documentation for jira.field.resolution.include, but before I start down that road (since I actually have way more than five projects), I want to get my mind clear on how it works.

If I use the include for three resolutions in a transition in project A's workflow, do I also need to exclude the remaining 12 transitions that don't apply to project A? 

If the answer to that is no, can I use include in some projects and exclude in others? Or does it have to stay consistent? Example: project A actually uses 10 of 15 resolutions, so it would be easier to exclude the unused ones than to include the used ones. But project B only uses 3 of 15, so it's easier to include 3 than exclude 12.

If I use include/exclude for one project's workflow, do I need to use it for all of them?

You do not need to exclude the remaining 12 transitions

It does not have to be consistent.

Cool, thanks. And I'm assuming based on that is the answer to whether I need to use the properties for all workflows would be no; only need to use it for projects where I want to specifically include or exclude; absence of the properties would display all choices.

-I'll give it a shot in our staging environment and see what happens.-

It worked! Thanks. This will be very useful.
