How to write a REST API program to create a Multiple Sub-tasks for an Issue?

[Siva Anantha Satyanarayana Singamsetti]

Can we use " for loop" in REST API program, to get Multiple Sub-tasks for an Issue ?

Below code i have used for this

REST API code:

{
"fields":
{
"project":
{
"key": "TEST"
},
"parent":
{
"key": "TEST-10"
},
for ( int i=1; i <=3; i++)
     {
       "summary": "Subtask-TEST10",
       "description": "Subtask of TEST-10",
       "issuetype":
           {
             "id": "10601"
           }
     }
}
}

For executing I used curl command:

curl -D- -u admin:admin -X POST --data "@MutlipleSubtask.txt" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8081/rest/api/2/issue/

Could someone help me with it?

And also is there any other way to do it in RESTAPI?

Thanks in Advance

Hi @Siva Anantha Satyanarayana Singamsetti ,

you may need to go with following rest api endpoint POST  /rest/api/2/issue/bulk

Refer this page for more details: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.12.0/?&_ga=2.142165051.860651512.1572849788-2006055560.1571762377#api/2/issue-createIssues
