Hi Team,

I am having requirement to automate Defect Status update.

we are using below Rest API in order to update defect status.

 http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/{defectid}/

using PUT method

Payload :

 {
"expand": "renderedFields,names,schema,operations,editmeta,changelog,versionedRepresentations",
"fields": {
"issuetype": {
"description": "A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product.",
"name": "Bug",
"subtask": false
},
"description": "laksh12 defect updated",
"project": {
"id": "31266",
"key": "COOKIE",
"name": "COOKIE"
},
"summary": "updated12 defect summary",
"priority": {
"name": "High",
"id": "2"
},
"status":"3"
}
}

Response:

{
"errorMessages": [],
"errors": {

}
}

Kindly do the needful.

Hi LostIn,

 

Thanks for your reply.

Can you please guide me what is the actual status request need to set.

We are passing the request for failed belongs to 2 and 

passed belongs to 1

actually i am using this request

"status":"3".  

Can you please share what is the valid json payload request for update the defect status.

it's seems that the integer you choose for the status is wrong. I mean, 3 is not a setable status. Can you use an API which can give u number available ? 

 

I mean for exemple, i use a get with this API api/2/issue/issueid/transitions

oRequest.Open("GET", "http://XXXX/rest/api/2/issue/" & id & "/transitions"

to get available transition choice and integer equivalent for those transition.

 

Then i can use a POST with the same API to change my issue transition state.

oRequest.Open("POST", "http://XXXX/rest/api/2/issue/" & id & "/transitions")

and then when i send my data

oRequest.Send(data)

I put this integer in, for example it give this

"expand": "transitions",
"transitions": [

{
"expand": "transitions",
"transitions": [
{
"id": "41",
"name": "Start Prepa",
"to": {
"self": "http://vld-jira:8080/rest/api/2/status/10227",
"description": "",
"iconUrl": "http://vld-jira:8080/images/icons/statuses/generic.png",
"name": "In Preparation",
"id": "10227",
"statusCategory": {
"self": "http://vld-jira:8080/rest/api/2/statuscategory/4",
"id": 4,
"key": "indeterminate",
"colorName": "yellow",
"name": "In Progress"
}}]}

 

Those are for example integer i have to use for issue transition, logically i was using 1,2,3,4 but in fact number are completely illogical.

'41 : Start Prepa
'401 : send mail
'151 : start work
'171 : Cancel
'371 : back to backlog
