Error message Missing Transition Identifier? What is the identifier?

[Stacy Menigoz]

Here is my code.  I receive a message that I am missing the transition identifier.  What is the identifier?

Hi @Stacy Menigoz, welcome on the community :)

Identifier of the transition is property "transition" -> "id". It is equal to the ID of the transition which can be seen in brackets in workflow configuration:

So it should be 

"transition":{
    "id":"5"
}

instead of

"update":{
    "transition":{
       "id":"5"
    }
}

Hi, I am passing it "id": "21".

I removed the update part but still get the same error.

But it says I need the identifier is that something else?

Thanks,

Stacy

SOrry @Stacy Menigoz , my first answer was not complete, I updated it...

[Stacy Menigoz]

I did change it to just this, but get the same error:

This is what it shows when I get the transitions for this JIRA, do I need to pass anything else tied to this transition? Because it doesn't make sense that this isn't working.

Thanks,

Stacy

Can you share the whole JSON pls?

[Stacy Menigoz]

It's what was in my original post.  But with the update around transition removed.

Yeah, I can see you have problem on row 11-12. If you provide TXT form of the JSON, I can validate it for you.

{    "update": {        "comment": [            {                "add": {                    "body": "Bug has been fixed."                }            }        ]    }}{    "fields": {        "customfield_12710": {            "value": "Non-security Incident",            "id": "11431"        },        "customfield_12737": {            "value": "Solved (permanently)",            "id": "11682"        },    }} {        "transition": {            "id": "21"        }}

Yeah, so it did not lie. I tried to validate JSON using https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/# and it says there are more JSONs at once.

I guess that corret JSON should be something like:

{
"update":{
"comment":[
{
"add":{
"body":"Bug has been fixed."
}
}
]
},
"fields":{
"customfield_12710":{
"value":"Non-security Incident",
"id":"11431"
},
"customfield_12737":{
"value":"Solved (permanently)",
"id":"11682"
}
},
"transition":{
"id":"21"
}
}
