Is there any way to set the status of the Issue at creation using Rest API in JIRA version 7.13.5

Question

Hi

Is it possible to set the status when it is created using REST api? We are using JIRA server 7.13.5 version. It would be of great help if we could create issue with the required status when it is created.

I have tried to include the transition property when Posting the data to create issue api, but still the issue has new status.

If this is not possible, i would like to know if there is any other API available that can be used to set the status of the issue directly as using the transition API we are forced to traverse the workflow to set it to the desired status.

Imports are the exception - you can specify what status the issue is imported in.

We used the CSV file import method to migrate issues into our instance, and we were able to specify the desired status.

Add transition "all" to target statuses. Use contition "admins only" to hide it from users and use transitions for migration. After it y can delete "all" transitions.
