JIRA- How to change issue status via rest?

Bahar Çağlar

Hi,

I am trying to change the status of an issue via JIRA rest.

curl -D- -X PUT -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46SDF0MXQ=" --data "{\"fields\":{\"summary\":\"AAAAAA\"}, \"transitions\":{\"id\": \"4\"}}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/TG-18"

Here is the data :

"{\"fields\":{\"summary\":\"AAAAAA\"}, \"transitions\":{\"id\": \"4\"}}

And the responce is 204. But the status doesnt change There is no error. How can I make it work?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bahar,

I did a quick test on this, and I believe that you may change an issue status by running the following cURL command:
curl -D- -u admin:admin -X POST --data @/Users/BaBs/Desktop/test.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/jira/rest/api/2/issue/JC-11/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

Basically, you could try to run the same command by switching the user credentials, the location of the JSON data and also the hostname and I hope that it will help. For your reference, the content of the JSON file is pasted below:

{
    "update": {
        "comment": [
            {
                "add": {
                    "body": "Comment added when resolving issue"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "transition": {
        "id": "5"
    }
}

In my local instance, the transition with the ID 5 will resolve an issue.

I hope the above info helps!

Hi Bahar,

{
    "update": {
        "comment": [
            {
                "add": {
                    "body": "Comment added when resolving issue"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "transition": {
        "id": "5"
    }
}

In my local instance, the transition with the ID 5 will resolve an issue.

I hope the above info helps!

For your reference Bahar, you may check the following REST API documentation for more info on transitioning an issue via REST:

Find out ID's of Transitions:

&lt;JIRA_URL&gt;:&lt;JIRA_PORT&gt;/rest/api/latest/issue/&lt;JIRA_ISSUE&gt;/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

Update Issue Status via:

curl -D- -u &lt;USER&gt;:&lt;PASS&gt; -X POST --data '{"transition":{"id":"&lt;TRANSITION_ID&gt;"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" &lt;JIRA_URL&gt;:&lt;JIRA_PORT&gt;/rest/api/latest/issue/&lt;JIRA_ISSUE&gt;/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

or:

curl -D- -u &lt;USER&gt;:&lt;PASS&gt; -X POST --data @file_name.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" &lt;JIRA_URL&gt;:&lt;JIRA_PORT&gt;/rest/api/latest/issue/&lt;JIRA_ISSUE&gt;/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

I would recommend removing your Authorization header in this example as it contains your username and password in base64 encoding.

Hi,

I'm trying to update assignee and change state with the following code.

{
  "transition": {
    "id": "11"
  },
  "update":{
    "assignee":[{"set":{"name":"username"}}]
  }
}

I'm using PUT on

/rest/api/2/issue/ISSUEID

Just assignee changed but not the issue state.

I would first get available transitions:

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/issue-getTransitions

Then do a post:
https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/issue-doTransition
