High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transition Jira issues to a new workflow state from the command line?▼

You can transition Jira issues from the command line by providing the issue key and optional target status to a CLI tool, which executes the transition and updates the ticket without manual web interface navigation.

Can I move a Jira ticket to In Progress without knowing the exact workflow status name?▼

Yes, you can move a Jira ticket using an interactive transition picker, which prompts you to select from available workflow states when the target status is not specified directly.

What is the best way to change Jira issue status quickly during development?▼

The best way to change Jira issue status quickly is by using a CLI command to transition tickets directly, bypassing the Jira UI to move issues to states like Done or In Review after changes.

Do I need jirac installed to transition Jira tickets via command line?▼

Yes, you need jirac installed and available in your environment, as the tool requires jirac availability validation before executing issue transitions with the --to flag or picker mode.

Why does my CLI Jira issue transition fail when moving tickets between states?▼

CLI Jira issue transitions may fail if jirac is not properly installed or if the specified target workflow state is invalid, requiring validation of the issue key and target status before execution.
