Programmatically update the status of an issue using JIRA REST API

[opadonu emmanuel]

Hello, i'm having an issue updating the status of an issue using the JIRA REST ENDPOINT:


METHOD:
URL: https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{resourceId}/rest/api/2/issue/10009
PAYLOAD: 
{  

    "fields": {

        "summary": "this is an update to this task",

        "description": "don't forget to eat",

        "status": {
             "id": "10020"
        }

    }

}


the request is only successful when status isn't sent, but once status has been added as a field to be updated, it returns 400 with an error response of

{ "errorMessages": [], "errors": { "duedate": "Field 'duedate' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown." } }


please note i've also tried using 
?overrideScreenSecurity=true&overrideEditableFlag=true

but this result in a permission issue requesting for admin access, of which i'm the direct owner of the organisation.



Please any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Hello @opadonu emmanuel 

You are not using the correct endpoint to execute an issue transition. The endpoint you need to use is

/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions

...which is described here:
