Add comment and Do Transitions via rest api v3

[Rajesh Ale]

{
"update": {
"comment": [
{
"add": {
"body": {
"type": "doc",
"version": 1,
"content": [
{
"type": "paragraph",
"content": [
{
"text": "Hello There!!",
"type": "text" 
} ]
} ]
}
}
}
]
},
"transition": {
"id": "71"
}
}

Above request works with rest api v2, any idea how to make it work for v3  .giving 204 message and adding comment . but ticket is not getting transitioned.

It works only when you have a screen while transitioning the issue!

Using the comment or any other field to update the field while transitioning the issue is redundant

Place the transition screen in workflow to work

[Rajesh Ale]

cant we do both at same time  using edit issue or update issue ??

@Rajesh Ale 

For transitioning Issues, you need to get the transition ID first and then perform the transition

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-transitions-get

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-transitions-post

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://your-site.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/WSP-198/transitions' \
--user 'email:token' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'

Get the Transition ID from above Response

curl --request POST \
--url 'https://your-site.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/WSP-198/transitions' \
--user 'email:token' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ 
"transition": {
"id": "51"
}
}' 

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,

I guess you haven't read my question am trying to do both adding comment and do transitions at the same time .. not just adding comment 

Thanks for your comment

Hi @Rajesh Ale 

This works for adding comments to an issue

curl --request POST \
--url 'https://your-site.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/WSP-198/comment' \
--user 'email:token' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
  "body": {
  "type": "doc",
  "version": 1,
  "content": [
  {
    "type": "paragraph",
    "content": [
    {
      "text": "Hello There!!",
      "type": "text" 
    } ]
  } ]
} }'
