# Description

The [Update issues](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/x/CIEhB) post function can also be used to **transition** issues together with updating fields. The same configuration is used and it works similarly. To make it a transition, the **Transition** field needs to be populated with a valid transition name or id. An invalid transition or a transition that is not valid for the current state of the issue is ignored with the error logged to the Jira application log. This page documents the difference to [Update issues](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/x/CIEhB) when a transition is requested.

# Restrictions

- Only issue fields on the transition screen can be updated on a transition. Other field changes are ignored.
- If a comment is requested, it must be on the transition screen and is added as part of the transition.
