Transition issued with comment

[azamora-zsc]

Right now I can't use the command move to transition issues in my project. It's enforced for us to add a comment when we move an issue to certain statuses (for instance, Done) so I get this:

$ jira issue move ISS-5516 "Done"

Error:
  - comment: Comment is required.

jira: Received unexpected response '400 '.
Please check the parameters you supplied and try again.

Adding a flag to the move command to add a comment as part of the transition action would help us. Something like:

$ jira issue move ISS-3245 "Done" -c "My comment about the transition"

Thanks for such a great tool, by the way.

This would require moving and updating issue at the same time since "required field" can be anything. The JIra API supports this operation but its a bit of a mess to make it work correctly.

You can do something like below for now. It's not ideal but should work.

jira issue edit ISS-5516 --custom=comment="My comment" --no-input && jira issue move ISS-5516 "Done"

Thank you very much for your answer. However, I already tried what you suggest and it doesn't work (same error). When we do that, we are adding a comment in one action, and then attempt to transition the issue in another call to the API. Apparently, this should be done in an atomic way...
I understand your point about the required field (it could be anything). Maybe passing the field name and its value can make the trick:

jira issue move ISS-3245 "Done" --required-field comment --required-field-value "My comment about the transition"

I think I have the same problem: Closing issues with required custom fields (all issues on my Jira instance) does not appear to be possible with jira issue move.

Context: My Jira instance requires a custom field when closing an issue.
In the Web UI I have to select one of the resolution types, https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/what-are-issue-statuses-priorities-and-resolutions/
If I don't select any Resolution I cannot proceed (the error message in the Web UI: "The selected resolution is invalid.") I can proceed when I select, e.g., "Fixed" (I can then also supply a comment).

Currently, when I attempt to close an issue using either jira issue move ISSUE-123 Done or jira issue move ISSUE-123 CLOSED I can see the following error message:

$ jira issue move ISSUE-123
? Desired state: CLOSED

Error:
  - customfield_18343: Please enter the Workaround Steps for this fix.

jira: Received unexpected response '400 '.
Please check the parameters you supplied and try again.

"Workaround Steps" is just one of the several choices available in the Web UI, so I expect it gives up at this point.
That being said, I don't think I can currently provide any input to the required custom fields when using jira issue move (I know other commands support custom fields, but jira issue move --help does not seem to list any way to do that for jira issue move).

Jira API allows to pass resolution, comment and assignee field in the endpoint. So, the new release v1.2.0 includes a change to allow you to set these fields when moving the issue.

$ jira issue move ISS-1 Done --comment "Example comment"
$ jira issue move ISS-1 Done -R Fixed

Note that these fields needs to be available in the Workflow to work, else they will be ignored.
