%{issue.status}

The status name will be returned in Jira's default language. If a translated value should be returned in general this setting can be updated in the configuration of the xApps library.

You can use this virtual field to trigger a transition, provided conditions and validators pass, and a transition is available to the specified status.

This field can only be used in the Update issue fields post function.

Writing into this field is a legacy function. 

Please use one of the following methods to update workflow statuses:

• Transition issue post function for workflows
• Transition issue action for automation rules
