Create Subtask thru API Error

[Kei Ji]

Hi ,

I try to create a subtask with API but get the error:

Here is the code: 

subtask_dict = {

"project": {

"key": "IT"

},

"parent":{

"key":'IT-279058'

},

"summary": "Testing Subtask",

"issuetype": {

"name": "Sub-task"

},

"reporter": {

"name": "zji"

},

"labels": [

"bugfix",

"blitz_test"

],

"components" : [{'name':'ITPurchasing-Team'}],

Error:

response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_24109":"Please enter a purchase type"}}

----------------

So I try to add the customerfield_24109 and then get another error:

subtask_dict = {

"project": {

"key": "IT"

},

"parent":{

"key":'IT-279058'

},

"summary": "Testing Subtask",

"issuetype": {

"name": "Sub-task"

},

"reporter": {

"name": "zji"

},

"labels": [

"bugfix",

"blitz_test"

],

"components" : [{'name':'ITPurchasing-Team'}],

"customfield_24109": {'name':'software'}

}

Error:
response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_24109":"Could not find valid 'id' or 'value' in the Parent Option object."}}

Could you please help ?

Hi @Kei Ji Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Here's a sample example of how I created a subtask of issue type (id 10001) "Task" under my parent of type "Epic"

URL - POST https://yourdomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Make sure authentication is present in the header

JSON Body -

{
"fields": {
"project": {
"key": "FIR"
},
"parent": {
"key": "FIR-10"
},
"summary": "Sub-task of FIR-10",
"description": "Test Description",
"issuetype": {
"id": "10001"
}
}
}

Hi @Kei Ji 

Try that line instead

"customfield_24109": {'value':'software'}

Thanks @Mohamed Adel  !

I now got this error:

response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_24109":"Option id 'null' is not valid"}}

I have tried more time and change the software to Software and it works ! 

Thank you !!!!
