how to change the issue status using java code

[KiranK]

I have requirement to change the issue status from indefination to Ready for Developement for one of the business use case.

I have written the custom plugin but not able to find the API to update the issue status.

Here is the code:

MutableIssue mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(issueParent.getKey());
mutableIssue.setStatusObject(cacheStatus);
//mutableIssue.setStatusId("10064");
issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);
setReindex(mutableIssue);
issueParent.store();

Please help me if any one aware of.

No.  You cannot just "set" the status of an issue.  It's NOT a field, it's an indicator of where an issue is in the workflow.

You must use workflow transitions to move the issue through the workflow.  Take your current issue, look at its status, work out which transition gets you to the target status and move it on.

Use issueservice or workflowutils to push the transition

how do you build  the class issueManager ?

I'm not sure what this has to do with my answer here.  Plus it's from 4 years ago?
