JIRA rest api not working while trying to set customfield values during issue transistions.

[sudharsan chandrababu]

Hi,

We are trying to use curl + rest api to change the status of issue from build to validation. And while changing the status we have to update buildid field on validation dialog box. How do we achieve this in rest? I see lot of documentation for transitions but couldnt get the exact json format to fix this problem.

Here is my json data for json update and i am using POST method as said in JIRA transition method.

{

    "update": {

        "customfield_10029": [

            {

                "set": {

                    "name": "sfsfd"

                }

            }

        ]

    },

    "fields": {

        "customfield_10029": {

            "name": "Resolution Notes"

        }

    },

    "transition": {

        "id": "71"

    }

}

Kindly advise on this? And let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,

Sudharsan

copy all statuses(workflow/transitions) in xml with id and read it using POJO and find with rest API and update as  mentioned below

<statuses>
    <status type="Defect" transition="71">Submitted</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="72">Fixed</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="721">Ready to Test</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="741">Failed Verification</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="731">Closed</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="471">Invalid</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="191">Review</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="151">Deferral Requested</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="161">Deferral Approved</status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="471">Deferred - On Backlog </status>
    <status type="Defect" transition="481">Deferred - Not On Backlog</status>
</statuses>
