Issue Status and Category incorrect in Post Function (Script Runner)

[Jeff Abbott]

I have a workflow where I am transitioning a linked parent item when the outgoing children collectively move to the next "Category" of status values.

The issue status is alway set to the value it had BEFORE I selected to transition the state. For example, when an issue transition (Start Work) from To Do to In Progress, the post function script sees the issue in To Do.  I am attempting to refresh the the issue using issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.key) at the start of the post function. 

Do I need to force the transition first?

You cannot initiate a transition inside a transition of the current issue.

The status of the issue will not change until the transition has finished, which happens after your post function executes.
