How do I search by transition labels in jira?

[Pratish Patel]

I want to search the JIRA tickets by  transition labels. 

e.g. There is a state transition labels "can't be automated". how'd i search the issues that are being closed by that transition ?

Hi @Pratish Patel,

Actually you can't do it like this. What you can do is create a custom field that gets populated at that transition automatically through a postfunction and you can search for that field. Or you can automatically add a label to the ticket and search for the label.

Thanks  for the suggestion.

How can i populated that custom field by a post function? I new to JIRA admin.

Do you have the "update issue custom field" in your list of post functions? or any other similar post function will do the job.
