retreive accountID of JIRA user from Bitbucket pipeline

[Junxi (John) Li]

I would like to design a process which automatically create a JIRA issue against any merge into a specific branch.

First problem I am facing now is in the pipeline, the BITBUCKET_STEP_TRIGGERER_UUID is not same as the JIRA user accountId,

The person who kicked off the build ( by doing a push, merge etc), and for scheduled builds, the uuid of the pipelines user.

for example, user A has push a commit to Branch A. pipeline of Branch A starting to run.

It will automatically create a JIRA issue which reporter is the user A. 

However, as I have tested. the BITBUCKET_STEP_TRIGGERER_UUID is not same as the accountID in JIRA. so I will not know who is reporter of this issue.

Any solution to this?

solved, the UUID is not accountId, i have to get the account_id from calling Bitbucket API pipeline endpoint to get the full detail of the creator which shows the correct account_id.
