@Saba Ghani -

Hi Saba:

In your code, it seems to be referring to the project ID (

rest/api/3/project/10005

Is that your intended project?

Hi @jtyetukuri yes- but this doesn't work either.

@Saba Ghani -

Go to your project UI > Project settings > Details, you will be able to get the PID in the URL address bar from your broswer.  You should be able to use it in your script.

If you are creating an issue, then you should not specify the issuekey in your script.

Hope this helps.

Best, Joseph
