Create an issue with rest api set reporter name

Matias Costa Meneses

Hi community, im trying to create an issue with rest api, im receving error 400 (bad request)

the problem is when i try to set another reporter. I have seen that you can add a reporter name, but it doesnt work for me. If i remove the section of reporter it works fine, but i need to change the reporter.

this is my code

fields: {
project: {
id: "10000"
},

reporter: {

name: "mcosta"
},
summary: "testAccJira",
description: "descripcion del issue ",
issuetype: {
id: "10001"
}
}
}

 

the e-mail that im registered is mcosta@....com.uy

my name is Matias Costa Meneses

I had trying putting my name, my mail, the left part of my email, and nothing work...  what is the username? where i get it?

 

thanks!!

Hi @Matias Costa Meneses,

based on your information, you mentioned that you're using a Cloud instance.

Atlassian has disabled user names on Cloud instances, therefore you're not able anymore to set a reporter via a name. You should use an accountId instead. The accountId is the unique identifier of your Atlassian account. In order to find it out, you can e.g. call this url https://YOURINSTANCE.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/myself (while you're logged in to your Atlassian account). The response will look like this:

{
  "self": "https://YOURINSTANCE.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user?accountId=1234567890",
  "accountId": "1234567890",
...
}

Using this accountId, you should be able to create your issue with such a request:

{ 
  fields: {
    project: {
      id: "10000"
    },
    reporter: {
      accountId: "1234567890"
    },
    summary: "testAccJira",
    description: "descripcion del issue ",
    issuetype: {
      id: "10001"
    }
  }
}

Hope that helped!

Cheers,
Matthias
