Hi guys,
I am using a curl PUT command to update JIRA issue status, it is returning the HTML 204 response but no status is being updated. The only thing being updated is a comment into the issue "test test". The transition id 101 is "In progress".
What am I doing wrong?
See code below:
curl -v -D- -u username:password -X PUT --data \'{"update": {"comment": [{"add": {"body": "test test"}}]}, "transition": {"id":"101"}}\' -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" "https://tests.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/TES-3"
cheers,
Hello Samuel,
To update an issue status you need to call the transition action with POST:
curl -u username:password -X POST --data '{"transition":{"id":"11"}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://jira/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-1/transitions
Reference: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.11.0/#api/2/issue-doTransition
I hope that helps,
Tom
@tomd thanks very much for your solution it works properly.
I wonder how we can keep the comment there to work.
Would you know if it is possible to use POST with a comment (like in same curl command)?
Or should I pass 2 curl commands one for POST (transition) one for PUT (comment)?
Cheers, Sam
You should be able to use the following JSON in your POST call:
{ "update": { "comment": [ { "add": { "body": "Bug has been fixed." } } ] }, "transition": { "id": "5" },}

Hello, I tried this piece of code you suggested me. However, I wasn't able to add the comment.
The only update was on the transition.
I made other test by using two curl commands, one POST (transition) and one PUT (comment) and it worked properly.
I wonder if update:comment:add works only with PUT, instead of POST.
Thanks, Sam
is this works only for api version 2?
