The Transition issue This post function automatically executes a specific transition on the selected issue issues or transitions the issueissues to a selected status. Both, transition and target status, have to be available from the issue's current status. 

It is the preferred way of executing transitions. However, in some cases, e.g. the automatic transitioning of newly created issues using the Create issue post function, users might want to use the following alternative field codes:
