API get transitions using getChangeItemsWithFieldsForIssues

Tom Lister_fo1j4e

I am working on a plugin and trying to get a list of transitions for an issue.

I was thinking to look through the change history for changes to status using the title method in code below

List<Issue> issues = new ArrayList();

issues.add(currentIssue);

List<String> fields = new ArrayList();

fields.add("status");

List<ChangeHistory> transHist = chgManager.getChangeItemsWithFieldsForIssues(issues, fields);

for (ChangeHistory change : transHist) {

UserHistoryEvent event = new UserHistoryEvent(change.getAuthorDisplayName(), change.getTimePerformed(),

"Transition", change.getId());

List<ChangeItemBean> cha = change.getChangeItemBeans();

 

events.add(event);

}

I am getting all change histories returned (3 in test) although only one amends status.

When I look for change items in debug the ChangeItemBean list is empty.

Am I missing a trick? Is there an easier method to get a list of issue transitions?

Hello @Tom Lister

History doesn't contain information about transitions. Only status changes.

I made little research and it seems you cannot do it with Java API.
