rest api to create sub task error out Operation value must be an Atlassian Document (see the Atlassi

[John Sheng]

Hi, 

I am able to create jira issue (issue type = story) using api. 

and then I follow this instruction to create sub-task. 
I feel the json is correct. but it gave me error message: Operation value must be an Atlassian Document (see the Atlassian Document Format)"

{

    "fields":

    {

        "project":

        {

            "key": "WDEXTEND"

        },

        "parent":

        {

            "key": "WDEXTEND-24"

        },

        "summary": "Sub-task of TEST-101",

        "description": "Don't forget to do this too.",

        "issuetype":

        {

            "_id": "5",

            "name":"Sub-Task"

        }

    }

}

Hi @John Sheng ,

please, which REST API endpoint are you using? Which instructions are you following? Thank you.

Hi @John Sheng , please try something like this:

{
  "fields": {
    "summary": "Sub-task of TEST-101",
    "issuetype": {
      "id": "5"
    },
    "project": {
      "key": "WDEXTEND"
    },
    "description": {
      "type": "doc",
      "version": 1,
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "paragraph",
          "content": [
            {
              "text": "Don't forget to do this too.",
              "type": "text"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    "parent": {
      "key": "WDEXTEND-24"
    }
  }
}

If you are using v3 of REST API, description field needs to have different format, see here.
