Is it possible, using the jira python library, to transition an issue without notifications sent?

[Dean Kayton]

Automation is working as expected. However we have not found a way to suppress notifications when transitioning an issue. When updating an issue we are able to:

issue.update(
    fields={
        'labels': issue.fields.labels,
        'fixVersions': versions
    },
    notify=False
)

 
but there does not seem to be an equivalent for:

def get_transition_id(issue, action):
    transitions = jira.transitions(issue)
    for transition in transitions:
        if transition['name'] == action:
            return transition['id']

transition_id_close = get_transition_id(issue, 'Close Issue')
jira.transition_issue(issue, transition_id_close)  # How does one suppress notifications here?

 
Is there an equivalent?

Isn't transition connected with an event that trigger an notification? I think that editing the transition (or notification) in the UI should help here and then you can simply execute it over JIRA Python.

You can always create a transition (only available for JIRA Python but also goes to Close status) without an associated notification.

Oh, thanks for this. I understand now that the notification is triggered outside of the issue transition request. I think the solution you propose is the only way to perform what I propose.
