Update Parent of Subtask through Python Jira API

Ahmad Sidawi_9aiykc

Hi, 

 

According to this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-22718

its now possible to update the Parent of a subtask through the API. Does anyone know how to do this through Python? I've tried the following but no dice:

 

sub_task_issue.update(parent=test_issue.key)
sub_task_issue.update(fields = {'parent': test_issue})
sub_task_issue.update(parent =  test_issue)
 

 

I'm getting errors like: 

 response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"parent":"data was not an object"}} 

or 

TypeError: Object of type Issue is not JSON serializable

 

Thanks in advance!

This turned out to be the correct syntax: 

 

sub_task_issue.update(fields = {'parent': {'key': str(test_issue.key)}})
