Get the initial status of a Jira workflow

Andreas Dahlberg

The jira rest-api for workflows is quite bad and as far as I can see there is no way to get the initial status (i.e the status that the issue is in after it is created) of an issue. By using the script runner it is possible to extend the rest-api. So my question is, how can I write a groovy script that returns the initial status of the workflow of a given issue?

You can, but I don't see much point, as I can't think of a use for knowing the status new issues will go into.

Well, I can get the information of the different statuses in a workflow in Jira and their transitions by running:

https://<jira-url>/rest/projectconfig/1/workflow?workflowName=<workflow-name>

but this doesn't say anything about which state that is the initial state. If you know how to get the initial state, would you mind telling me?

You can't, without code in Jira to expose it. It's not there because it's of no use to you.

How can you do this with code? I need to interpret a workflow during a post function and need to know which status is the originating state w/o hard coding to the name. Can I assume it is always the status with an incoming action/transition ID=1?
