Applescript utility to automate changing JIRA states

I created this script to make it simple to change ticket states within JIRA. Our company's state workflow is convoluted, with lots of intermediate states to get from a state like "In Progress" to "Ready for QA".

It allows you to change from a given ticket state to any other reachable state and it automates filling in required data

It can be run from the Agile board (you select ticket to change state for):

Or from a specific ticket page:

Requirements:

1. Safari browser

- Turn on Develop menu
	* Preferences
	* Advanced Tab
	* Turn on "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
- Enable in Develop menu: "Allow Javascript from Apple Events"

2. Edit Applescript to model your state workflow. Each top-level state is on the left, and then the transition states and actions to get you there.

set states to {
	"REQUIREMENT", {"IN DESIGN", "Start Design"},
	"BACKLOG(DEV)", {"IN PROGRESS", "Start Dev", "IN DESIGN", "Need Design"},

3. Modify code further down that deals with which actions have required dialogs (and data entered) that have to be navigated.

if action is "Start Design" or ...

Features:

1. Can be run from Agile page (and you can select ticket to change state on) or from the ticket page
