Is there is a list of all available transition IDs

Gordon Whitton

I would like to use the JIRA API to progress the job status. I cannot find a definitive list of all transition IDs. I understand a request using e.g. /rest/api/2/issue/MY-REF-ID/transitions will return the available transition for that job, but what I am after is a complete list of all possible transition IDs. Many thanks.

There isn't one. The question is quite difficult, because "a list of all transition ids" could easily look like 10010, 10020, 10020, 10020, 10020, 10022, 10024, 10030, 10034, 10035, 10035, 10035 and so-on. They are only unique within the workflow, AND they can be shared.

Fetching a transition without the context of the issue and that issue's status is pretty much useless - you can't actually do anything useful with it.

Thank you for your quick response.

It sounds like I first need to find out what transitions are possible, and then select the correct id from those available.

In my case, I need to progress a ticket to "Awaiting Test" (assuming that is an option). Do I need to search the response for "name" : "Awaiting Test", and extract the id value relating to it?

That's correct, yes.

You can't trigger transitions that are not valid for the issue, so the list isn't a lot of use, and it's best to ask the system what is valid, and parse it for the one you're looking for!

You can see a list of all of the transition IDs and other details about the status if you go to:

http://your-site-here/rest/api/latest/status/

The ID that you're looking for is the one in the main section and not the one in the StatusCategory section. You'll see a list of all of the statuses that are available on your instance of Jira.

Example output:

{

self: "http://your-site-here/rest/api/latest/status/10001",
description: "",
iconUrl: "http://your-site-here/",
name: "Done",
id: "10001", <-----The ID you're looking for
statusCategory:
{
- self: "http://your-site-here/rest/api/latest/statuscategory/3",
- id: 3,
- key: "done",
- colorName: "green",
- name: "Done"
}

}

That's not the transition id, it's the status id.

Hi @Nicany idea where to find the transition id?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Over REST, the response to a "get issue" can include all available transitions for that issue, including ID and name

See https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getIssue

Jiri

Use API to list transitions for an issue.

Post the following into browser

https://jira.domain.tld/rest/api/2/issue/<issuekey>/transitions

Rajesh_so8rwn

issuekey?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Yes, you need to give it the key of the issue you want to work with.

Jonathan Vezinat

curl -u user:password -X GET http://jiraURL/rest/api/issue/issuekey/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

that should return available transition states for that issue based on its workflow
