How to perform post on transition when that transition is hidden from user.

[Aayush Mohanka]

I have added a transition (A - B) which I have hidden it from condition.
I wanted to perform same transition via a rest Call {issue}/transition, i am not able to do so.
How can I make transition for a hidden one using Rest

Hi @Aayush Mohanka

I don't think it's possible. It your user is not able to transition the issue via JIRA GUI, he won't be able to do it via REST API. So you need to use another user who meets the condition.

Thanks for the response.
I am trying to differentiate any action on issue based on UI or API call at my plugin.
My API user and logged in user can same, and my plugin treats both the action either by UI or Rest API as same and process event.

Hi @Aayush Mohanka ,

I'm not aware of the possibility how to easily distinguish, whether the request was made using UI or via API. I would recommend you to use different users instead.
