How do I automatically trigger incidents to close upon problem resolution?
Hi stamp-collector
So long as those incidents that are related to the problem, have not yet moved to a state of 'Resolved' or 'Closed' themselves, upon moving a problem to the 'Closed' state, you should be prompted with the following message:
You'll then have the opportunity to select all related, open incidents to close out in mass, or you can select specific incidents to also resolve:
I hope that helps to clarify!
Best,

stamp-collector One of the reasons you may not be getting the prompt is that you have 'Resolution Code' set to mandatory. Since there is no way to set the resolution code en masse from the Problem record, it will not prompt to close those related incidents. It could also be that there are mandatory fields that are not filled in which would again not allow you to resolve them in this way either.
You can access the Resolution Code setting under Setup>Global Settings>Service Desk Settings:
