How do i get the status of the worklog ?

[Jagadish]

I would like to grab all the worklog of an issue with status in "Waiting for Approval" state .

I tried using - /rest/api/2/issue/{issue-key}/worklog  , but it returned all the data except the status .

Can anyone help with any other way to do it ?

Hi anbern,

although I do not want you to neglect the approach with listeners in any way I just wanted to mention we used the "Send a custom email" function during a transition.

The listener might be a better choice if you have a very detailed set statuses you want to match (and additionally not being specific to a workflow).

In case the scenario is much simpler the approach with "Send a custom email" tied to a transition (in one specific workflow) might suffice.

Example use case over here was to send a customized mail to recipients listed in a field of type "multiple user picker" through an "approve" transition (informing them that the specific issue has been approved). That works pretty good.
Basically this is used as an alternative to the introduction of a new event (and perhaps an additional velocity template).

In summary: the distinction if this can be applied to your use case is by the question if you have several workflows or if it only should apply to a specific one.

Cheers,
Daniel
