Issue transition with required fields via REST

[Alexander Friesen]

Hello,

can you please help me. I'm not able to perform a transition via REST if some fields are required.

http://DOMAIN/jira/rest/api/2/issue/KEY-89/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

Result:

{
"expand": "transitions",
"transitions": [
  {
"id": "21",
"name": "to IN INVESTIGATION",
"to": {
"self": "http://DOMAIN/jira/rest/api/2/status/11505",
"description": "ORDER Investigation and effort estimation started at K&A.",

}
},
"fields": {}
},

"to": {
"self": "http://DOMAIN/jira/rest/api/2/status/11508",

"iconUrl": "http://DOMAIN/jira/images/icons/statuses/generic.png",

"id": "11508",
"statusCategory": {
"self": "http://DOMAIN/jira/rest/api/2/statuscategory/4",
"id": 4,
"key": "indeterminate",
"colorName": "yellow",
"name": "In Progress"
}
},
"fields": {
"worklog": {
"required": false,
"schema": {...},
"name": "Log Work",
"operations": [
  "add"
],
}
}
}
],
}

Now I'm trying to move Key-89 to status "FINISHED".

Jira.transition_issue(issue, tFinished, fields={'timespent' : "6m"})

Result: 

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"timespent":"Field 'timespent' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}}

Unfortunately the hint on the other question in the Forum throws this error:

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"worklog":"Field does not support update 'worklog'"}}

Here is how it looks like in the WebUI:

Do you have anny suggestions?

It appears jira python does not support worklog in transition_issue.  I modified the client.py file in the API directly and was able to get it to set the time during the transition.
