Can you disable notification for transitioning issue via REST?

[Andrew Moulton]

For editing an issue, there is a parameter for named "notifyUsers" that you can set to false to disable notifications for that edit.  I am wondering if there is a similar option for transitioning issues, for example POST /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions?notifyUsers=false

Looking at the structure of the request, I would say no. 

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.12.0/?_ga=2.259276106.1759737369.1548184642-1685856880.1527088269#api/2/issue-editIssue

The edit issue end point specifically lists "NotifyUsers" as a parameter that can be passed along. The "Do Transition" end point has no such property listed.

Kian,

Thanks for your input!  I thought as much, but just wanted to ask and see what others thought.  I'm thinking I'll just create a small plugin to add a new REST resource for me to call.

Hi Andrew - did you ever solve a way to do this? 

I'm looking to transition issues using the REST API but without notifying users. 

Thanks, 
Kevin

Unfortunately no.  I just ended up writing a plugin that does the following:

validationResult.getAdditionInputs().put("sendBulkNotification", false);

IssueResult transitionResult = issueService.transition(applicationUser, validationResult);
