Creating JIRA Issues via Direct Links, Custom Field with Child Values

[Kyall Fordham-Weir]

Hello,

I'm attempting to setup some direct issue creation links (using : How to create issues using direct HTML links in Jira Server | Jira | Atlassian Documentation)

One of the fields I want to set a value in is a cascading select list, this has 2 'levels' of value. The JSON looks like: 

(I've cut the URL out) 

        "customfield_12412": {

            "self": "<URL>/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/28378",

            "value": "CHANGE",

            "id": "28378",

            "disabled": false,

            "child": {

                "self": "<URL>/jira/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/32505",

                "value": "UPDATE",

                "id": "32505",

                "disabled": false

            }

        },

If I send;

<URL>/jira/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=14700&issuetype=11502&customfield_12412=28378

I can get the first value in but, not the second as it's not got it's own field ID (that I can see) 

Anyone got any ideas on this one?

Hi @Kyall Fordham-Weir,

Try this:

<URL>/jira/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=14700&issuetype=11502&customfield_12412=28378&customfield_12412:1=32505
