How can I create a ticket in a specific sprint using acli?

[Diego Mijelshon]

Hello. I'm trying to create a ticket in the current sprint using acli.

Alternatively, I could create a ticket, then assign it to the current sprint.

I could not find a way to do this. The sprint field doesn't exist. Even if I view a ticket that is part of a sprint and query with -f '*all', the field is not there.

I did not find any other command that allows this - acli jira sprint only allows listing workitems, for example.

I was unable to find any examples of this. Is it a known limitation? What are the alternatives?

Thanks!

Hello @Diego Mijelshon 

Is it a known limitation?

Yep

What are the alternatives?

Use the REST API

@[deleted], unfortunately, REST is not an option because handling authentication is trickier (need to store tokens, etc)

I got pretty close. I found the field I want is customfield_10010.
However, I'm having trouble finding the right format. Everything I tried results in one of these errors:

• Number value expected as the Sprint id., The Sprint (id) must be a number
• Error: json: 'additionalAttributes' field is in a wrong format

Hello @Diego Mijelshon 

I personally tried EVERYTHING months ago to get it to work in the ACLI... and failed, just as you have :(

Refer to this thread where I've been discussing the exact same problem with someone else.

Gotcha. I ended up using REST, which forces me to handle autho manually...

acli is terrible. I'd love to see Atlassian put some more love into it.

It's an absolute disgrace that sprint option is not available either through MCP or acli - this just prevents automatic flows to create tickets in the current/other sprint. Is there a reason this is still not implemented?
