Keyboard-only status change on Jira agile board fails to match drag-and-drop behavior

The goal is to verify that moving an issue through its workflow on a Jira Scrum or Kanban board can be completed using only a keyboard, achieving functional parity with the drag‑and‑drop interaction.
Constraints include potential differences between Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center UI, variations introduced by board filters, workflow schemes, issue‑type permissions, and the fact that accessibility conformance claims are versioned and may change after upgrades.
Uncertainty remains whether an equivalent non‑pointer path—such as a workflow transition control accessible from the issue view or board—is consistently exposed and operable when drag‑and‑drop cannot be used via keyboard.
Does Jira Cloud provide a keyboard‑operable transition control that mirrors drag‑and‑drop status changes on agile boards? Does Jira Data Center exhibit the same behavior? Are there board or project configurations that guarantee such a control is available when drag‑and‑drop lacks keyboard support?
