Creating JIRA projects using REST API via CONFI- Forms

Chitra Koneti

Hi,

I created a confluence form with the respective fields that are required by the rest API for creating a project and used the Confi-form IFTTT macro to hit the Jira rest API.

But the API is returning me the following error. Which I am unable to trace the error out.

Any help appreciated.

Error- Requested to https://jira.xxx.xxx.xxxx/rest/api/2/project/ has resulted in error. Response code = 400. Response contents: {"errorMessages":["Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@5a7effa0; line: 1, column: 2]"]}

When there is no body in the IFTTT macro (ie the JSON ) the error still persist..

Hi @Chitra Koneti ,

Can you kindly confirm you are following the instructions from Creating JIRA issue from Confluence with ConfiForms or provide more details in case you are doing something else?

Also, in case you are following the given documentation page, can you provide a screenshot showing the form configuration like, e.g., the last one from the above documentation page:

jira-form-def4

Cheers,
Dario

Hi Dario,

Thank you for your reply. here is my form set up( for project creation in Jira)

I now have a new error as opposed to the previous one.

NOTE= in the URL I am using my company's url instead of Atlassian.com

ERROR : Response code = 400. Response contents: {"errorMessages":["Unrecognized field \"properties\" (Class com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.issue.project.ProjectInputBean), not marked as ignorable\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@1691071; line: 2, column: 20] (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.issue.project.ProjectInputBean[\"properties\"])"]}

snip 1.PNG This is my form.

Thank you.

Hi @Chitra Koneti ,

The project field does not exist for the rest/api/2/project endpoint and this is indeed what the returned error message is saying:

Unrecognized field \"properties\"

For the list of the fields available for the endpoint please refer to the REST API documentation (below I am providing the link to the one for Jira Server 8.2.2 since it is the latest but you might be using a different version):

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.2.2/#api/2/project-createProject

As you can see in the example in above page, the REST request body to create a project is:

{
    "<span>key</span>": <span>"EX"</span>,
    "<span>name</span>": <span>"Example"</span>,
    "<span>projectTypeKey</span>": <span>"business"</span>,
    "<span>projectTemplateKey</span>": <span>"com.atlassian.jira-core-project-templates:jira-core-project-management"</span>,
    "<span>description</span>": <span>"Example Project description"</span>,
    "<span>lead</span>": <span>"Charlie"</span>,
    "<span>url</span>": <span>"http://atlassian.com"</span>,
    "<span>assigneeType</span>": <span>"PROJECT_LEAD"</span>,
    "<span>avatarId</span>": <span>10200</span>,
    "<span>issueSecurityScheme</span>": <span>10001</span>,
    "<span>permissionScheme</span>": <span>10011</span>,
    "<span>notificationScheme</span>": <span>10021</span>,
    "<span>categoryId</span>": <span>10120
</span>}

Please remove the properties field from your request body (and the related curly brackets) and let us know if this works.

Cheers,
Dario

Hi Dario,

Yes, It did work thank you

I am able to create projects in JIRA

I also wanted a suggestion the new project key that user's enter for creating projects needs to be validated with the existing keys in Jira and then only allow the user's to create the project. We currently have two instances of Jira and the new key that users are entering needs to be validated with both these instances. Any approach on how this can be achieved in the Confi-form field( I know there is Jira Rest API called projectvalidate that does validate the keys in Jira). How can I hit two instances with a single API call?
