How can i change the status by using name?

AKASHB

I have a code through which i am making Auto Transition by using ID but since its not the right way to do it, since ID may change. So i want ot perform Tranistion based on name so anyone out there can help me out. My piece of code is like. /* WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = ( WorkflowTransitionUtil ) JiraUtils.loadComponent( WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class ); //This will capture the Wokflow workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(issue); //This will set the Issue workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(221);//This will set the Action Id workflowTransitionUtil.progress(); //This will vallidate the progress */ So here i need to do by name.

The name of a transition is even more likely to change than the ID. I'm not sure there's any mileage in using the name over the ID. Also, Atlassian have issues logged to enable translations of names, so a single transition, with one ID could end up with several different names. I know the API lets you get a name for an ID, but I don't think it's got anything for doing the reverse. I'm afraid your code might have to read the entire workflow for each transition and pull out a name, and hope it matches.
