If it is not defined, I don't want to allow the resolve to proceed, and I want to show a status message to the user letting them know that the resolve failed because they need to provide a value for this custom field.

I did figure out that I could just set status back to open in my scrip action, but unfortunately the Results area still reads "Status set from open to resolved" even though the ticket is still open, because the initiating transaction was open -> resolved.  I cannot figure out how to write into that Results area at all to let the user know the resolve did not work.

In Ticket/Update.html, you should look at code that call
/Elements/ValidateCustomFields and do something like this. (i.e. set
check_failure=1; and add you're message to @results (which will be
displayed to user using /Elements/ListActions like every
information/error messages in RT)).
