Trigger transition from external script

Question

Hi,

We have a requirement where we would like to run an external script to transition a Jira workflow from "In development" to "Test". e.g Once a developer has fixed a bug we would like to call Jira to progress that flow and then in that transition populate the Fixed Version number.   Can you point us in the right direction on what we need to achieve this automation please.

It seems we require two components

1) call Jira to auto transition externally

2) populate a field once we transition to "Test"

Thanks

Thanks Alexey, I just checked and we have jpython. Hopefully this should help after a bit of reading.

Also found API Browser to make external calls GET and POST in if need be.

You would need a plugin like Power Scripts or ScriptRunner to call a transition in a script.
