How to create a post function that comments an issue with the transition that took place?

Question

We have a workflow where one status can transition to the other for multiple reasons, each with it's own associated transition/transition ID.

Is there a way to write a post function that will comment the name of the transition that took place, to prevent the user from having to access the history?

You can use custom field instead of comment because there is a "update custom field" post-function. Or you can use commercial plug-in e.g. Jira Workflow Toolbox (https://apps.decadis.net/display/JWT/Post+Functions) which has "add comment" post-function.

I can't think of a way to do this using out-of-box functionality, but it would be a very simple Automation rule.
