Browse source 
Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/42663

The new Jira UI doesn't show transition IDs in the admin interface.
This updates the docs to list a couple of alternative methods of
getting the required ID.

### Getting a Transition ID
In the most recent Jira UI, you can no longer see transition IDs in the workflow administration UI. You can get the ID you need in either of the following ways:
1. Use the API, with a request like https://yourcompany.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/ISSUE-123/transitions using an issue that is in the appropriate "open" state
1. By mousing over the link for the transition you want and looking for the "action" parameter in the URL
Note that the transition ID may vary between workflows (i.e. bug vs. story), even if the status you are changing to is the same.
