Add an issue to a sprint using the rest API

[Adam]

Following the format of

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/creating-an-issue-in-a-sprint-using-the-jira-rest-api-875321726.html

and having retrieved the customfield id for the sprint field using

/rest/api/latest/field

and

/rest/agile/1.0/board/24/sprint

I get the error 

It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."

on endpoint

/rest/api/latest/issue/

Hello,

You should use the Jira Software Rest Api to add an issue to a sprint. You will avoid all possible problems:

Hi Alexey, thanks for the pointer and I accepted the solution.

I can now move the issue into an existing sprint.

Is the information https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/creating-an-issue-in-a-sprint-using-the-jira-rest-api-875321726.html no longer valid?

I am not sure, if it is valid or not. But I use Jira Software Rest Api to do such things. I had same problems like you had. But with Jira Software Rest Api, there are no problems.
