Create issue as another user using Rest API

[Peder Alm]

Hi

Using the Rest API, is it possible to create a new issue and set another user as the reporter ,provided that the "API user" has the correct permission?

Hello @Peder Alm 

Yes. Refer to the Create issue section of the Jira Cloud REST API documentation. In the examples provided it shows how to set the reporter when creating the issue.

Thanks that worked. I used the accountId value for a user as the id value during create issue. I also had to enable the reporter field in the create issue view.

Yep, that's it exactly!
