500 Error while using transition rest endpoint

[James Garfield]

I'm locally hosting Jira v9.16.0 and I am trying to update an issues status via the rest api. I am using the endpoint 'POST /rest/api/2/issue/{id}/transitions` with the a request body of

```

{

  "transition": {

  "id": "6"

  }

}

```

Im getting a 500 "Internal server error" upon sending this request. I have tried multiple different ids to no avail. My question is very simply what am I doing wrong here?
