Create story that is linked to an epic using rest api

kuldip naik

Hi

I am able to create an epic - key WHSAR-769 but I am unable to create a story using rest. I could not find "User Story " on my jira instance - https://wim-jira.xxxx.com/rest/api/2/issuetype

 

Here is what I used to create story and of course it fails with

 

{
"fields": {
"project": {
"key": "WHSAR"
},
"parent":
{
"key": "WHSAR-769"
},
"summary": "2EUT",

"customfield_19545": {
"Option id": "38679",
"value": "Prerequisites"
},

"customfield_10183": 7,

"customfield_15891": {
"Option id": "38719",
"value": "2EUT"
},

"customfield_11709": "Acceptance of Project kick off date and the resources details from app manager.",
"duedate": "04-01-19",


"description": "Ensure app manager has confirmed project kick off date and resource details for the application being migrated.",
"issuetype": {
"id": "5"
}

}
}

If anyone from Atlassian following this forum and cares about users - you should atleast follow stackoverflow theme that allows you to put code and formatting. I can't even find decent JSON formatting for my questions.

So the answer:

You can't create story that is connected to a Epic in one shot. you have to create story first and then update the Epic link on that Story (issue)

Of course during story creation - you can't use the parent id. Below code worked for me:

{
"fields": {
"project": {
"key": "WHSAR"
},

"summary": "2EUT",

"customfield_19545": {
"Option id": "38679",
"value": "Prerequisites"
},

"customfield_10183": 7,

"customfield_15891": {
"Option id": "38719",
"value": "2EUT"
},

"customfield_11709": "Acceptance of Project kick off date and the resources details from app manager.",
"duedate": "04-01-19",


"description": "Ensure app manager has confirmed project kick off date and resource details for the application being migrated.",
"issuetype": {
"name": "User Story"
}

}
}

then on the story issue
