How do I move Jira issues through workflow states automatically?

Transition Jira issues between workflow states by retrieving available transitions for an issue, selecting the appropriate one, and executing the state change. This Skill handles single and bulk transitions across statuses like To Do, In Progress, and Done, with optional comments and field updates.

Can I bulk transition multiple Jira issues at once?

What permissions and setup do I need to transition Jira issues?

You need an authenticated JiraClient, transition permissions in your Jira workflow, and knowledge of your instance's workflow configuration. Transition IDs vary per Jira instance, so the Skill handles non-standard IDs specific to your setup.

How do I find available transitions before moving an issue?

Fetch available transitions for a specific issue to see which workflow states you can move to. The Skill retrieves the list of valid transitions, letting you select the correct one before executing the state change.

Can I add comments and update fields when transitioning Jira issues?
