how to change jira status by transition with REST API?

Question

i tried to change status as a field,but not work,and i see we need to change the status by transition.

but i do't understand the schema .

for example,i want to transition my issue from to do to doing,how should i send the params?

i have read the doc,but i can't understand the schema.

what's the role of the parameters? what's the range of update,just comment?

and i can't find the transition id list. is it the actionId of every transition which declare in workflow?

Hi @pillow Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Here's an example based on https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.20.1/#issue-doTransition . See possible transitions:GET /rest/api/2/issue//transitions Transition an issue to a selected Workflow status (transition is made by ID and not name):POST /rest/api/2/issue//transitions { "transition": { "id": "21" } } Kind regards, Thiago Masutti
