STEPS TO REPRODUCE

# Transition an issue by target status
    - name: Change to Production
      jira:
        uri: 'https://jira.com/'
        username: '{{ jira_username }}'
        password: '{{ jira_password }}'
        project: CMDB
        issue: "ISSUE-111"
        operation: transition
        status: "Change to Production"
        validate_certs: no
      args: 
        fields:        
          comment: "Test"

This is incorrect according to latest Jira documentation: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.5.4/#api/2/issue-doTransition

EXPECTED RESULTS

{ "update":{ "comment":[ { "add":{ "body":"Test" } } ] }, "transition":{ "id":"5" } }

ACTUAL RESULTS

This results in the REST call:
{ "fields": { "comment": "Test" }, "transition": { "id": "241" } }
