Transitioning issues
To transition an issue, run the following script from the script console:
def issue = Issues.getByKey('ABC-1')
issue.transition('Start Progress') Updating fields while transitioning issues
You can also update fields during a transition. For example:
def issue = Issues.getByKey('ABC-1')
issue.transition('Resolve Issue') {
setResolution('Done')
setComment('resolving this issue')
} Skipping conditions, validators, and permissions while transitioning issues
You can use transitionOptions to skip conditions, validators and permissions during a transition. For example:
def issue = Issues.getByKey('ABC-1')
issue.transition('To Do') {
transitionOptions {
skipConditions()
skipPermissions()
skipValidators()
}
}Known limitation when transitioning from a post-function
Due to a limitation, we recommend against calling issue.transition() on the current issue inside a custom script post-function. When this is done, the transition is recorded in the issue's activity history, but the issue's current status may not update correctly.
Workaround
Use a Custom Listener instead, which runs outside the workflow transition steps and is not affected by this behaviour.
