How do I get issue key after I create jira issue using create_issue() in jira module in python?

[anmol sharma]

When I create a jira ticket using create_issue function in jira module in python, I'm not able to extract that  issue's key even after the ticket was successfully created. How do I get the issue key?

Hello @anmol sharma 

As per the docs

https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/examples.html#issues

"Successfully created issues will contain the issue object as a value of the issue key."

[Tarun Sapra]

issues = jira.create_issues(field_list=issue_list)

It gives you that issue because the create_issue command returns the issue key not a JSON object so in the following example you can use the output as the new key

I.E

new_issue_key = auth_jira.create_issue(fields=issue_dict)

print(new_issue_key)

$ JRA-98

Hello,

After creating the ticket, result should return a JSON such as:

{
"id": "12345",
"key": "KT-5",
"self": "https://jiraurl/rest/api/2/issue/12345"
}

Here you can extract the key by using :

result_json["key"]

This did not work for me. I tried to index and got the error:

Arguments: (TypeError("'Issue' object is not subscriptable",),)

When i try to loop through the items of the object to see if it indeed returned a Json item, i get error:

Arguments: (TypeError("'Issue' object is not iterable",),)

If i print out typeof(new_issue), i get:

<class 'jira.resources.Issue'>
