"Specify a valid project ID or key" creating issue

Etienne Sillon

This is the url I'm using: https://xxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue

and this is the payload I got from an example on the net, I only changed the project key:

{"fields":{"summary":"TEST SUMMARY","issuetype":{"name":"Bug"},"project":{"key":"ET"}}}

BTW, I got the project key from /project/search:

{

  "total": 1,

  "isLast": true,

  "maxResults": 50,

  "values": [{

    "avatarUrls": {...},

    "entityId": "...",

    "isPrivate": false,

    "uuid": "...",

    "expand": "description,lead,issueTypes,url,projectKeys,permissions,insight",

    "simplified": true,

    "name": "...",

    "self": "https://....atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project/10000",

    "style": "next-gen",

    "id": "10000",

    "projectTypeKey": "software",

    "key": "ET",

    "properties": {}

  }],

  "self": "https://....atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/project/search?maxResults=50&startAt=0",

  "startAt": 0

}

I also checked I have access to create issues using /mypermissions?permissions=CREATE_ISSUES

"CREATE_ISSUES": {

    "havePermission": true,

    "name": "Create Issues",

    "description": "Ability to create issues.",

    "id": "11",

    "type": "PROJECT",

    "key": "CREATE_ISSUES"

  }

I followed the authentication tutorial here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication/

... and based my code on the examples here: https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/atlassian-oauth-examples/src/master/

Any ideas? Thanks

Dear @Etienne Sillon ,

if you try to change the project key of an entire Jira project, I doubt that this is implemented with REST. You need to do this within the UI.

If you want to change the issue key of a single issue, you need:

• create a new one
• clone its content
• link and delete old

This is a "work-a-round". Unfortunately there is no MOVE rest endpoint yet implemented. See JRASERVER-71343 for a suggestion for Server. Its same in Cloud.

So long

Thomas
