Need to specify Sprint Information in Rest API request.

[Priyanka Mathur]

HI Team,

 I am trying to create a Jira issue using Rest API and need to specify which sprint this issue needs to be created. 

I have used below schema, however, the "bad request " error is thrown.

1.

      "fields": {

        "project": {

          "id": "10000"

        },

        "summary": "something'\''s wrong",

        "issuetype": {

          "id": "10000"

        },

        "assignee": {

          "name": "homer"

        },

        "reporter": {

          "name": "smithers"

        },

        "priority": {

          "id": "20000"

        },

“Sprint: : {

“name”: “Sprint1:

},

        "labels": [

          "bugfix",

          "blitz_test"

        ]

Throws bad request error

      "fields": {

        "project": {

          "id": "10000"

        },

        "summary": "something'\''s wrong",

        "issuetype": {

          "id": "10000"

        },

        "assignee": {

          "name": "homer"

        },

        "reporter": {

          "name": "smithers"

        },

        "priority": {

          "id": "20000"

        },

“Sprint: :  “Sprint1",

        "labels": [

          "bugfix",

          "blitz_test"

this as well throws "bad request" error.

        ],

There must be a error message together with the bad request error. What is the error?

[Priyanka Mathur]

Nothing, It just states Reason Phase as blank and status as "bad request"

You should use Jira Software Rest Api

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/#api-sprint-sprintId-issue-post

I was trying to use this example 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/creating-an-issue-in-a-sprint-using-the-jira-rest-api-875321726.html

However i am creating a class to send the data 

public class Fields
{
public Project project { get; set; }
public string summary { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public int customfield_XXXXX { get; set; }

}

this is giving bad request as well.

That is right because if you generate a json from the class it will not be the json you need. Jira accepts only certaion jsons. In your case it must be like this

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       {
          "key": "SP"
       },
       "summary": "Sprint issue test",
       "description": "REST APIs are great.",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
       },
       "customfield_10001": 1
 }
}

Your Json will be like this

 {"project":"SP",
 "summary": "Sprint issue test",
 "description": "REST APIs are great.",
" customfield_XXXXX": "Sprint 1"}

It is a bad request. You need to create a class with the fields variable which is of the  Fields class. Also you need to create a project class with the key variable and the project variable in Fields class must be of this class. And you also need an issue type.
