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
Thanks LostInMadness Forever for your reply, i am getting below error,
{
"errorMessages": [
"Missing 'transition' identifier"
],
"errors": {}
}
Can you please guide me.
