### Summary
GitLab sees a JIRA issue as "Closed" when it hasn't actually closed the issue.
- Accept Merge Request that closes a JIRA issue (`Fixes EN-9` is in the MR description)
- In the widget, `Closes EN-9` is specified.
- After MR is accepted, we see the following:
The issue in JIRA is not transitioned. A link mentioning the merge commit is added:
`develop` is the Default Branch specified in project settings.
I tested a *manual* POST to `https://our_jira_instance/rest/api/2/issue/EN-9/transitions` with `{ "transition": { "id": 41 } }` specified in the JSON body, it successfully transitioned the issue:
I believe our JIRA Integration settings are correct:
### Steps to reproduce
See: Summary
### What is the current *bug* behavior?
- Accept MR that specifies a JIRA issue as Fixed
- GitLab adds a mention to MR commit in JIRA, and shows `Closed ###` in the MR widget.
- Issue is not transitioned
### What is the expected *correct* behavior?
- Accept MR that specifies a JIRA issue as Fixed
- GitLab adds a mention to MR commit in JIRA, and shows `Closed ###` in the MR widget.
- Issue is transitioned correctly in JIRA
### Relevant logs and/or screenshots
Looking through various GitLab logs and in `atlassian-jira.log`, there are NO mentions of failure. It may be possible that [JiraService::close_issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/app/models/project_services/jira_service.rb#L111) is not being called?

The SUCCESS here is likely the commit mention.
