Setting Repo description with rest api

Chad Fox_x34s4c

None of the examples or documentation I can find for creating or updating a repository using the rest api for bitbucket server, show how to set the repo description.

Is there documentation for the full set of values that can be configured using the api?

How can you set the description?

This is for Bitbucket server / data center, not cloud.

Thanks

Chad

Check this page for the rest end points and what you can update: https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/5.16.0/bitbucket-rest.html

I was able to write code to update the repo name so I’m sure there is an endpoint for the description

Just change the link to the version of Bitbucket you are on to get a more precise list

You will have to use PUT and send the new description in the data.

https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/5.16.0/bitbucket-rest.html#idm8287366304

try setting the description on the front end and then do the standard get and see if the description field is listed in that response. If it is then the above should work.

Thank you for the response.

It turns out it is just a key named "description", but I had another error in my JSON, so it was failing, leading me to believe I had the wrong key.

I have added description and put still not getting success, I have created blank repo using rest api now adding description gives error

{
    "name": "My repo",
    "forkable": false,
    "project": {
        "key": "PRJ"
    },
    "description": "MY desc"
}
