How to set issue creator via API v2

Question

Hello,

I create my Jira issue via API v2. During the creation, I want to set both reporter and issue creator in History section, but I only able to set the first one and the creator is always the board administrator.

There is a field to add to my JSON to set the issue creator equals to reporter?

Thanks @Nic,

there is no way to add a field into JSON to set the creator? Because I can access to users id (e.g. to set the reporter) but it's very hard to get the token from each user who can create the task.

The creator of the issue will be the owner of the account you are using to authorise the action in the API - that's the whole point of the creator field, to trap who created it.

Hi @Andrea Giovinazzi

This is recorded for a purpose so that when you have changed the repoter, there should be record of who created the issue.

Please refer the Jira Support Issue below
