Jira work item status

The Teamwork Graph API is available through Forge's Preview release phase.

Preview features are available to all users and receive the same level of support as generally available features. Schemas, fields, and behavior may still change before general availability (GA), and breaking changes are subject to a minimum 1-month deprecation notice, announced in the Teamwork Graph changelog.

To review the current limitations, see Limitations and considerations.

To share feedback or report an issue, visit the Atlassian developer community.

Represents the status of a Jira work item indicating its current state in the workflow. Work item statuses track work progress through defined states like "To Do", "In Progress", or "Done".

Available fields and properties

The Teamwork Graph API has the following fields and properties that you can use in your queries:

  • Object type fields are the core data fields of the object. Use these when you want to retrieve specific information about the object in your queries.
