Crete incident with a specific component status

lucasalcantaraf

I am following the developer doc for the API but when creating a new incident you can pass the
"components": {
"component_id": "operational"
},
and in the component id you put the status of the component will have. I am trying to create an incident with "major_outage" but it does not apply to the affected component and always shows "operational".
this is an example of what I am sending
{
"incident": {
"body": "Incident descriptiopn",
"component_ids": [
"<my-component-id>"
],
"components": {
"component_id": "major_outage"
},
"impact_override": "major",
"name": "test Incident",
"status": "investigating"
}
}

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I think maybe the API documentation is wrong because you wouldn't be passing a component_id through for a status... If you look at the Component endpoint, you pass through the 'status'. 

Maybe try replacing component_id in the components block with "status": "major_outage" and see if that works?

Thanks,
