Comment Popup Handle via API

[Harsh Kumar]

Hi, To move an issue to In Progress there is a dialog which opens up for comments. When doing this transition with API, the API fails with 400. Is there a way pop-up configuration can be detected when transitioning via API and then add comment?

Hi,

Welcome tot he community

If you have a transition screen with mandatory field you just need to add the field in your request during the API call.

Thanks. To do this, I suppose I can use this API?
/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions?expand=transitions.fields

{
    "update": {
        "comment": [
            {
                "add": {
                    "body": "Bug has been fixed."
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

This api will show you all field that you can update during the transition.

So in Jira server you just have to call

rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions

in Jira Cloud

/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions

Here is what worked for me.. Thanks..

curl --location 'https://<url>>/rest/api/2/issue/<<issue-id>/transitions?expand=transitions.fields' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'Authorization: Basic <<API Token>>' \

--header 'Cookie: atlassian.xsrf.token=e80648f3-50a4-4ca3-a537-0b8e89619848_769a8c178704cab15e24f59d2722e84e6e055ffc_lin' \

--data '{

"update": {

"comment": [

{

"add": {

"body": "Bug has been fixed."

}

}

]

},

"transition": {

"id": "1151"

}

}'
