Cannot resolve issue via REST API

[bhills]

Hi all,

I am trying to resolve an issue via the REST API but I keep getting the following error:

Could not find valid 'id' or 'name' in resolution object.

I have used the API to fetch all valid resolutions before-hand so I know I am passing in the correct resolution. I have tried both Name and ID - still get the same error.

The JSON I am sending is:

{
  "fields": {
    "resolution": "Done"
 
  },
  "transition": {
    "id": "801"
  }
}

Using the following URL:

https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/TICKET-10163/transitions

I did read that the resolution field would have to be on the edit form for this to work, but having added it I still get the same error.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks.

Hi Ben

This is the JSON that I use

{
 "update": {},
 "transition": {
 "id": "241"
 },
 "fields": {
 "resolution": {
 "name": "Done"
 }
 }
}

 and this is the call that I use

/rest/api/2/issue/JRA-5475/transitions?expand=transitions.fields&transitionId=241

Thank you Warren! Comparing your JSON to mine I can clearly see now I missed the resolution "name" key. I'll go back to the Java library that generated that code and try and fix it.

Thanks for your help.
