# Transition a work item

`POST /work-items/{itemId}/transition`

Move a work item to a target workflow state.

## Path parameters

- `itemId` string, required — The work item to transition.

## Request body

- object
  - `state` string, required — The target workflow state.
  - `organizationId` string — Optional organization ID to scope the request to. User credentials must belong to it; a secret key may only reference its own organization. Omitting it currently falls back to the session's active organization for user tokens (deprecated); a future release will require it for user-token callers.

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `identifier` string, required
  - `title` string, required
  - `url` string, required
  - `state` string, required
  - `changed` boolean, required
