Use web-item as a Transition button will open new page

[Nhac Tat Nguyen]

Hi there,

I'm creating a web-item at workflow bar (section="transitions-all", see my button ">> Release" below), and that web item will trigger a transition.
When I click on my button, the transition is done but it will lead me to new page (that is my webwork view). But I want to stay at issue view page, only show a progress sign during the transition, the same way as transition button does.
Thank you!

Solution:

1. Use javascript to call to your REST API (which will do your issue transition at the backend, you have to implement it), then prevent the default redirection of your web-item, so the page will not be redirected.
2. When you received the response from the above REST API, just do the following in JS to refresh the Issue View Page:

   JIRA.trigger(JIRA.Events.REFRESH_ISSUE_PAGE, [JIRA.Issue.getIssueId()]);
