create jira issue v3 - not working

[Manjunath CM]

I am unable to create a Jira Story from one of my Copilot Studio topic flows.

It is not clear whether the problem is with the Jira API design or with Copilot Studio itself.

I am specifically stuck on how to pass the summary and description fields when using the Create a new issue (V3) action.

The documentation and in-product guidance are very limited, which makes it difficult to understand and resolve these errors.

Can someone please help by explaining how to pass the bare minimum required fields, such as summary and description, in the Item payload so that a Jira Story can be created successfully?

Thanks !

Hey @Manjunath CM ,

If you're looking at the official documentation, the minimum required fields in (general) payload are:

• project (by key or id)

• issuetype (by name or id, e.g., "Story")

• summary

• description (this might be optional as well)

Few tips here:

• If your Story issue work type or project space has additional required fields (custom fields, components, etc.), you must include those as well, or the API will return an error.
• If you get "unknown fields" or similar errors, ensure the fields are present on the Create Work Item screen for that work type and space.

Can you maybe share which errors you're getting when you try to post a payload?

Cheers,
Tobi
