Hi Jee.

I can help you out with this, if you are 100% sure that this is what want. To be honest, you really don't want to control issue transition through the REST API.

Using a post-function, or a listener, would be a lot easier, and it's functionality that you wouldn't have to code by yourself, since we've already provided that built-in. 

These documentation articles might be of help:

This is the fast-track listener, that does precisely what you want based on a condition.

It is also available as a post-funciton, if I'm not mistaken.

Cheers!

Thank you for your answers.

I wanted to change the state of issue on an external build tool, not on an Atlassian product.
Is it possible to change the state externally?

[Daniel Yelamos [Adaptavist]]

Sorry let me make sure that I understand you.

You want to open a rest endpoint in your instance, that in turn accepts request from an external build tool to transition issues.

Is this correct?

That's exactly what I want.

I've already solved it with curl.

Do you have any other ideas?

What I think you are doing now is setting a REST endpoint, and within that REST endpoint, you are yet making another call to the JIRA rest api.

Instead of using the rest api from within your REST endpoint, use a normal transition method via java. Like my colleague Aidan does here.

I would heavily suggest using this over calling a JIRA endpoint while within your own rest API. It would make use of less resources, and it would me more reliable.
