How to add WRITE scope to atlassian-connect.json

[Chun Ho Ng]

I am writing a script on ScriptRunner to update the fields once an issue is created, but I receive the following:

error code: status: 403 - Forbidden

I saw on some posts mentioning that might be due to the scope object in atlassian-connect.json not including 'write'.

Can anyone tell me how to add the write scope to atlassian-connect.json?

Thank you.

@Chun Ho Ng  Welcome to the community!

To add 'write' scope to atlassian-connect.json file you need to add something like this.

{
  "key": "YOUR_ADDON_KEU",
  "name": "ADDON_NAME",
  "description": "ADDON_DESCRIPTION",
  "scopes": ["READ", "WRITE"], # HERE I HAVE ADDED A WRITE SCOPE
  "modules": {
    ...
  }
}

But, I don't think with ScriptRunner you need to do this. ScriptRunner itself is addon and you don't need to write 'atlassian-connect.json' file for this.

You might be getting error because of permission issues with field. So please validate this first.

I was able to change the fields through sending the following PUT request on Postman:

/rest/api/2/issue/[issueKey]

body:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10039": "US",
"customfield_10040": "NF",
"customfield_10041": "KP"
    }
}

 But it failed when I used ScriptRunner

put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}")
.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
.header("Accept", "application/json")
.body([
fields: [
customfield_10039: region,
customfield_10040: mainProgram,
customfield_10041: subProgram
]
]).asString()
