Get Workflow of an Issue using JAVA

[georgiossalon]

Is there a way to get a Workflow from an Issue within JAVA e.g. TO DO; IN PROGRESS; DONE?

What do you mean by "get", and what do you want from it?

[georgiossalon]

I mean, get all three values of the workflow: TO DO, IN PROGRESS, DONE and save them in java. Of course these values can vary from issue to issue. Otherwise I could just write the values manually.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I'm afraid that does not explain "get"?

[georgiossalon]

In the Jira version I am using, each issue has a status. Under the status "field", there is a "hyperlink" (View Workflow). I want to somehow retrieve (JAVA REST API) the values depicted (also visualized in the pic above) when I click on this hyperlink.

If this description of "get" is not clear, please do explain which part of it I should explain in an alternative way. What is the first thing it comes to your mind when reading "get" values?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

The view you see in the "view workflow" pop up is a dynamically generated image, not a simple value.  There is no "get" for it other than calling the code that generates it to display the image. 

Your code will need to invoke the same call the window does and then handle the returned image appropriately.

[georgiossalon]

Right. I suppose the values are saved in a Custom Filed or is in the Jira REST API a Class that I can use to get these values?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

The status is not a field, so no.  I don't think it's exposed directly in the REST API - you'd need to run a filter that returns a set of issues that are in all status in a workflow.

Thank you for making this clear.
