Can someone help rectify why does the statuses won't change?

Hi,
I wish to update linked issues whenever the 'parent' issue is transitioned but can figure out how to do that. (it is not really parent issue but linked issue to several other).

I checked the code (without the put call) and it does retrieve the issue keys. I do get however errors when the put function is there

here is my code: (below is the second one as I thought maybe my approach is wrong and I have to use transitionID)

```

def issueKey = 'AKD-452' //issue.key
def newStatusId = '10005'
def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.asObject(Map)

// Find the linked issues
def linkedIssuesKey = result.body.fields.issuelinks.inwardIssue.key
def length = linkedIssuesKey.size()
for (i in 0..<length) {
def fields = get("/rest/agile/1.0/issue/${linkedIssuesKey[i]}")
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.asObject(Map)
.body
.fields as Map
def submit = put("/rest/api/2/issue/${linkedIssuesKey[i]}")
.queryString("overrideScreenSecurity", Boolean.TRUE)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields:[
Status: newStatusId
]
])
.asString()
return submit
if (result.status == 204)

{ return 'Success' }

else {
return "${submit.status}: ${submit.body}"
}

}

```

I thought maybe I have to use the transition id so tried this code too:

```

I also tried this code but I get error responses

def issueKey = 'AKD-452' //issue.key
def newTransitionId = '10005'
def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.asObject(Map)

// Find the linked issues
def linkedIssuesKey = result.body.fields.issuelinks.inwardIssue.key
def length = linkedIssuesKey.size()
for (i in 0..<length) {
def submit = post("/rest/api/2/issue/${linkedIssuesKey[i]}/transitions")
.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
.body([transition: [id: newTransitionId]])
.asObject(Map)

// Log out the issues transitioned or which failed to be transitioned
if (submit.status == 204) {
logger.info("Transition ${newTransitionId} performed for the ${linkedIssuesKey[i]} issue")
} else {
logger.warn("Failed to perform the transition ${newTransitionId} on the ${linkedIssuesKey[i]} issue. ${submit.status}: ${submit.body}")
}

// Collect the success status by issue key to show them as part of the script return value
[(linkedIssuesKey[0]): (submit.status == 204)]
"Status by issue key (transitioned?): ${linkedIssuesKey[i]}"
}

```

OK, so had many issues with the code:

1. It's not a put request but should be a post request.

2. you must have the 'looped' flag stated.

3. On the way we could shorten the code and use a better for loop statement.

def issueKey = 'enter issue key here' //issue.key
def transitionID = 'enter transition id'
def newStatus = 'On Staging'
def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)
        .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
        .asObject(Map)


// Find the linked issues
def linkedIssuesKey = result.body.fields.issuelinks.inwardIssue.key

for (value in linkedIssuesKey) {

// The rest call to transition the issue
    def transitionIssue = post("/rest/api/3/issue/$value/transitions")
            .queryString("overrideScreenSecurity", Boolean.TRUE)
            .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
            .body([transition: [
id: "$transitionID",
looped: false
            ]
            ]
            )
            .asObject(Map)

}

return 200
