Setting the resolution only on an issue via REST

John Mcteague July 16, 2013

We have an existing JIRA 5/GH 6.2 install with a project that has been setup so that we have multiple columns mapped to the In Progress status with different resolutions. When we transition across using greenhopper, it leaves the status as In Progress but changes the resolution.

Now we are trying to use the rest api to perform the same transitions (leaving status unchanged) however the transitions rest resource requires us to set a status with the resolution (cannot set the same status as we are currently on) and if we try to set the resolution on the issue directly we get a 400 bad request (I assume because Resolution is not on the edit screen).

While I could add resolution to the edit screen for the issue, it isnt needed for Greenhopper. Is there a way I can achieve the resolution change via REST without also changing status?

Not really. REST respects what you've got set up in the UI, so you need resolution on-screen and valid for change if you wish to edit it via REST.
