Invoke-JiraIssueTransition for Cascading Select Child Options

[joe-heaton]

Cannot Transition due to Child option, using only the parent works fine but does require the child.

I have used value & id now, also have used as many different variations i can think of incl.

• ' ' or " " around each id or value
• added @{ after the child or without

I must be missing something, but i am unsure how to add a single-string constructor/factory method as per error message given.

Following instructions HERE: https://atlassianps.org/docs/JiraPS/about/custom-fields.html#cascading-picker

$transitionparams = @{
    customfield_13590 = @{

    id = 14976

    child = @{

    id = 14989

    } 
    }

    'customfield_10227' = $resolution
  }

Get-JiraIssue -Issue $jiraticket | Invoke-JiraIssueTransition -Transition 341 -Fields $transitionparams -Verbose

This is the error recieved:

Further digging, the Validators for this transition is a "Build-Your-Own (Scripted)

!! issue.customfield_13590.child.value must return true

[Rogueit]

So are you trying to transition both Issue-14976 & Issue-14989?

[joe-heaton]

@Rogueit so these are the customfields inside of the issue I'm trying to transition.

These are required to successfully transition the issue, both for customfield_13590 and one ID is the parent and the other the child.

[Rogueit]

So one thing I see that is different from the way i'm doing it is your ids are in single quotes. And maybe double quote resolution.

$transitionparams = @{
    customfield_13590   = @{

        id    = '14976'

        child = @{

            id = '14989'

        } 
    }

    'customfield_10227' = $resolution
}
