[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

To change the status of an issue, you use the transition that takes it to the new desired status.

hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-  I am using default workflow right now . so what the transtition please help me

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Status is not a field, you can't just throw a value at it.  It is a display of where an issue is in its wrokflow.

You'll need to look at the workflow for the issue and work out which transtition(s) you need to push the issue through to get to the status you want.  Your code will then need to command those transitions to happen.
