Programatically Updating Transition of a Status with a required field

[MAB]

I am programatically updating the status of an issue using transitions (using JIRA Rest API). Its working perfect until transition has some required field to be updated to next status. JIRA Rest API is giving "Bad Request" error.

Following is my C# code

string extendedURL = String.Format("issue/{0}/transitions", issueKey);
string pJSON = "{\"transition\":{\"id\":\"" + newTransitionId.ToString() + "\"}}";

result = await PostRequest(extendedURL, pJSON);

where PostRequest is my defined function to call JIRA Rest API.

Please note that this is working perfect if there is no required field to do the transition.

Have you tried filling in the mandatory field?

How to fill that? I am new to JIRA Development. I am making json. Should i add my field in the json?

Yes, see https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/issue-doTransition
