How do I list available status transitions for a Jira issue?

Short answer: You can get transitions in Jira by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Jira Get Transitions action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Transitions.

What does the Get Transitions action do in Jira?

Returns the available status transitions for an issue based on the workflow it's on. Required before calling Transition Issue, since you pass a transition ID, not a status name.

What inputs does Get Transitions require?

Required: Issue Key. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Jira returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Jira returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Get Transitions support batch operations?

Run Get Transitions inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Jira's rate limits.
