How to check the content of Issue Tracker | Public Issue Tracker

[John Arrizza]

I've enabled the "Public issue tracker" for my repos. I have a Python script that double checks I've done using this module:

from atlassian.bitbucket import Cloud

It shows up as a field in the returned JSON

'has_issues': True,

Then I found out I can set the default content for the users "This is displayed to users when creating an issue. Use this message to help guide issue creation."

Is there a way to use the V2 API to get the current default content so I can double check I didn't skip one or mess one of those settings?

I've the content of the JSON returned by the API but I don't see an content or link I could use to do that double-check.

There also seems to be a "mailing list" that will be notified when an issue is submitted. I could not see that in V2 API JSON as well. Again just to double-check it is set up correctly.

Note: this is not the JIRA issue tracker, it's the default issue tracker.

TIA!

Hi @John Arrizza 

You can find any public issue trackers in your workspace via the v2 API you've mentioned by following the documentation below:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/kb/how-to-find-public-issue-trackers-and-wikis-in-a-workspace/

However, there is no field for default content, this is exposed only in the UI.

Regarding the mailing list, you can configure this in the UI by following the documentation below:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/set-email-preferences-for-an-issue-tracker/

Unfortunately, this is not present in the v2 API and can only be configured in the UI. There were some references to email in the context of invitations (not issues), but this was the v1 API and has since been deprecated. 

The default issue tracker has largely been deprecated in favour of JIRA, and all newly created workspaces no longer contain the issue tracker.

Cheers!
