Using scriptrunner, how do I get transition id ON a transition screen? (not from a post-function)

Question

I want to alter some behavior on a transition screen basing on the transition id. How do I get the transition id? I try to use the workflow manager to get the info. Though, this list all available steps from the current status of the issue (say from status A, it can go to B, C, and D). I only want to get the transition id to B, if the B transition screen is opened. The transientVars is not available on the transition screen. I did try to use field screen manager to get actions of the screen. This filters out some transitions (say D since D doesn't use the transition screen B. However, in my case, screen B is used for both B, and C. Each is used under certain conditions of course). So, I still can't get the right transition id.

Thanks.

Hi @Ha B_

Yes, on the transaction the screen is used, this API endpoint will show the id of the transaction.

A transaction on a workflow has as set id, every time that transaction is used, its the same id.

Hi @Marc -Devoteam- . Thanks, but this still doesn't give me the exact transition id on the opened transition screen.

Hi @Ha B_

Transition ID's can be retrieved via the API.
