Using Scriptrunner to automate the generation of Jira tickets

Question

Hi all,

I have the Scriptrunner addon for my JIRA environment and I'm wondering if I can use Scriptrunner to automate the generation of Jira tickets. For example, at the start of each month I would like to generate 3 tickets with particular descriptions, priorities etc. I understand that I could utilize Scriptrunner Service to handle the scheduling, but what scripting language do I use to define the ticketing information?

Thanks!

The actual programming would be in the Groovy language. I have some code snippets that generate tickets- I can put something together if you could give me the info that would need to be in the ticket (i.e. project, issue type, formatting for the summary/description, fields that will need to be filled in, etc.)

Hi @markk1 ,

You should use the groovy language when working with scriptrunner. You can find a useful example of creating an issue here. Let me know if you have any issue.
