Ok.  There's not really any way to do this.  The issue view you return to is executed after your action is finished and has nothing to do with it.  So you'd need to hook something into the core view of Jira to get messages from the action and execute some sort of response.

You might find it easier to have a simple field that you update on the issue during your action.  Or a response screen inside the action.

I have added option in more section and whenever I click that option menu, it post the current issue details to external application (say any other third party bug database) and return status and I want to send that message back to issue view. So that user will be notified for the status.
