You mean change status - issues do not have a transition, they are actions that change the status.

Anyway, the error message you are getting is clear.  Your action is to transition from one status to another, using the transition between the two that has an id of 21.  You are giving it the a field, but that field is not on the transition screen for transition 21

You should check

* That the transition has a screen
* The screen includes the field you want
* That you are using the right name for the field.  It's very unlikely that the field's id is recommendationExplanation - it's probably more like customfield_12345

Hi Nic,

I am trying to move the issue from one transition to another and there is a field present at that transition, so i want to update the field also, for which i have written the below script and getting the error message as  -

"body: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"recommendationExplanation":"Field 'recommendationExplanation' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}}"

Script -

def issueKey = issue.key
def recommendationExplanation ="customfield_26896"
def result = post("/rest/api/3/issue/DCEOCG-215/transitions")
.queryString("overrideScreenSecurity", Boolean.TRUE)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
'transition' : ['id' : '21'],
'fields' : [recommendationExplanation : ['value' : 'NA' ]]
])
.asString()

What does "not working" mean?  What error response do you get?
