Jira Transition

This action allows transitioning tickets in Jira Server.

Build

After changing the action's code, the action must be rebuilt and packaged via yarn all and the changes in the dist folder must be commited.

Release

After commiting a new version, you have to move the Major version tag or create a new one, as described in the GitHub Actions docs: git tag -fa v1.
