How to get the status list for each type of issues in JIRA CLOUD using Rest API

[Chitra Sankar]

Hi,

As per the business requirement,  I have to display the status list(like open, in-progress)  options based on the issue type(task,story,etc,.). I can get the all status list  using /statuscatefory API. But it should be specific with issue type.

Any Idea?

There is no way to do that directly, you'll need to read the project configuration for the workflow scheme, then the workflow the issue is set to use, and parse that for the status ids which you'll then need to map in the status list you already mentioned.

Ugh... this API really is so developer unfriendly

It's not the API, it's the power and flexibility of Jira that makes it complex.  That leads to a complex API.
