Work Item transition is not returned in VSTS with Rest API

Question

For some reason I cant't get the transitions (next available states) for a work item with a rest call.

I tried exactly what is in the document: transitions

Here is my REST call: BASE_URL/_apis/wit/workitemtransitions?ids=14&api-version=4.1-preview.1

The BASE_URL works with other calls, the id 14 could be loaded also, so it exits, but i don't get back any result if i want to get the transitions(Usual Page not found is returned).

What is the problem here?

Answer 1

Tested on my side and everything works as expected.

Generally if the base url is incorrect you will receive the Page not found message. So please double check if you have entered the correct base url... (maybe a typo?)

Another possibility is that no transitions defined for the specific work item type...
