How to set description such that it is rendered as a codeblock??

[Prasang Singhal]

Hi there, I am trying to create an issue using Jira REST API. I want to set description as a codeblock that should be rendered as below:

The above issue is created using UI and description is rendered as it should be.

But I am unable to do the same thing using REST API.

Here is how my description looks like:

{code:title=POST /api/v1/system/alarms/d475-4ccd-aab9-0474bc285a38/acknowledge}
Status code: 409

Payload: null

Response: {
"code": 24,
"codeDesc": "NCERRConflict: Failed due to a conflict with the current state of the target resource"
}

{code}

 This is how my request payload looks like:

payload = {
    "fields": {
        "summary": summary,
        "issuetype": {
            "name": issue_type
        },
        "project": {
            "key": project_key
        },
        "description": {
            "type": "codeBlock",
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": description
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

But I am getting an error:

{"errorMessages":["We can't create this issue for you right now, it could be due to unsupported content you've entered into one or more of the issue fields. If this situation persists, contact your administrator as they'll be able to access more specific information in the log file."],"errors":{}} 

 Please tell me where I am making the mistake.
