Transition Issue

Transition a Jira issue to a different status (for example, IN PROGRESS, DONE, or CLOSED,) using a transition name.

To change the status of an issue, you must use the name of the transition and not the name of the end status.

For example:

Response

Status Code

Result of the operation. The connector returns an HTTP status code that indicates whether the action taken by the card succeeded or failed. For example:

  • A 201 Created status code indicates success where a new resource was created.
  • A 403 Forbidden error indicates that the HTTP request wasn't processed because the necessary permissions were missing.

For a full list of possible status codes, see HTTP status codes.
