Regarding about change transition of issue in plugin devlopment

Question

I want to change the status field for a jira issue
Like i have to status A and B and i want to change the transition from B to A
but i dont have transition between them in the workflow
so is there any api to do that work in plugin devlopment.

I am using Atlassian plugin devlopement
and i want to perform this task using Jira api or by any predefine function
my limitation is this, I can’t add reverse transition in workflow.

It's a plugin, you have full access to the whole system, you can do anything you want.

That said, don't. Add a transition to the workflow and don't try to corrupt data by using hacky ways without knowing what it entails. If needed, you can set a condition on the transition to hide it from other users. API-wise you can also `skipConditions` in code to disregard the condition if you're unsure that the transitioning user might not be able to pass it.

I am also sure that this is possible somehow. But you are also asking about any kind of API. I doubt there will be an official API that will allow such a behavior as this appears to be against the principles that a workflow is covering.

However, I will be happy to learn if there is such a way using an official API.

Atlassian have its own undo plugin in marketplace in that they are able to do it that i am trying to.
If they did it then there will be a way to do so.
