Passing mandatory custom fields for transitions using the JIRA Python API

bogdanbustan

Hi,

I am trying to apply a transition on an issue that requires a mandatory field using the next format:

JIRA.transition_issue(bar_issue, 'FooTransition', customfield_bar='foo_name').

The response text to it is: 

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_bar":"Custom Field Bar Name is mandatory"}}

Can it be done through the Python API? Could it be done without making the particular custom fields optional?

Thank you!

Hello @bogdanbustan 

Can you try this:

jira.transition_issue(issue, '5', fields={'yourfield:value})
