      2. Create an Issue
      3. Add a Screen to the workflow for the Issue Type you want to use
      4. Then use the transitions endpoint. an example would be curl.
      curl -X POST \ 
--url 'https://<your-instance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/AT2-76346/transitions' \          
--user 'user@example.com:ojFZqrykxxXXXXXX' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{                             
  "update": {       
    "comment": [  
      {         
    "add": {                      
      "body": {     
          "type": "doc",
          "version": 1,
          "content": [
            {
              "type": "paragraph",
              "content": [
                {
                  "text": "Let's think it in another way should work Prince Nyeche",                                                                         
                   "type" : "text"
                   }
                 ]      
               }       
             ]        
          }  
        }                         
      }                   
    ]            
  },              
"transition": {
       "id":"31"  
  }
}'
