Hi Sachin

I have a similar problem. I am not using the exact code above, but the code used to work on the sever version. I can create tasks in all the projects that from within jira, but it fails using my code.

I would like to give your code a try and this leads to my question.

You write that the API token is not the password. What is it then?

@ramesh.na1 Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Are you using this Code. # This code sample uses the 'requests' library: # http://docs.python-requests.org import requests from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth import json url = "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue" auth = HTTPBasicAuth("email@example.com", "") headers = { "Accept": "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json" } payload = json.dumps( { "update": {}, "fields": { "summary": "Main order flow broken", "parent": { "key": "PROJ-123" }, "issuetype": { "id": "10000" }, "components": [ { "id": "10000" } ], "customfield_20000": "06/Jul/19 3:25 PM", "customfield_40000": { "type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [ { "type": "paragraph", "content": [ { "text": "Occurs on all orders", "type": "text" } ] } ] }, "customfield_70000": [ "jira-administrators", "jira-software-users" ], "project": { "id": "10000" }, "description": { "type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [ { "type": "paragraph", "content": [ { "text": "Order entry fails when selecting supplier.", "type": "text" } ] } ] }, "reporter": { "id": "5b10a2844c20165700ede21g" }, "fixVersions": [ { "id": "10001" } ], "customfield_10000": "09/Jun/19", "priority": { "id": "20000" }, "labels": [ "bugfix", "blitz_test" ], "timetracking": { "remainingEstimate": "5", "originalEstimate": "10" }, "customfield_30000": [ "10000", "10002" ], "customfield_80000": { "value": "red" }, "security": { "id": "10000" }, "environment": { "type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [ { "type": "paragraph", "content": [ { "text": "UAT", "type": "text" } ] } ] }, "versions": [ { "id": "10000" } ], "duedate": "2019-05-11", "customfield_60000": "jira-software-users", "customfield_50000": { "type": "doc", "version": 1, "content": [ { "type": "paragraph", "content": [ { "text": "Could impact day-to-day work.", "type": "text" } ] } ] }, "assignee": { "id": "5b109f2e9729b51b54dc274d" } } } ) response = requests.request( "POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers, auth=auth ) print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": "))) This is tried and tested code. Make sure you are sending api token of user who has the permission to create issue correctly here auth = HTTPBasicAuth("email@example.com", "") pls note api token is not password Thanks, Sachin
