Unable to update the status using api node js

Question

I am trying to update the status of the bug using api node js but it is not getting updated.

var bodyData =

{ "update":

{ "summary": [ { "set": "Issue Updated" },],

"status": [{ "statusCategory": { "name": "DONE" } }]

}}

try {

var options = {

url: url

method: "PUT", json: true,

headers: { 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer(username + ':' + password).toString("base64"), 'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck',

'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: bodyData };
request(options, async function (error, response, body) { if (error) { console.log(error); //return response.statusCode; } else { console.log(body); } });

} catch (e) { console.log(e);}

The API you are using is the REST API - see https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/rest-apis/ for the definition.

However, I don't think there's much (if anything) wrong with your code.  The problem is that you're trying to use a transition that isn't there.

Can you please provide the sample node js api for changing the status of the issue.

It sounds like the issue is in a status which does not have a transition with id 6 out of it.   The comment won't apply because there's no screen for the transition for it (because there's no transition)
