“issuetype”:”The issue type selected is invalid.”

Rahim T_S

’m trying to create an issue with jira-client - npm

for that I created a code snippet based on what a bare minimum body should be which I got from https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-post

<span>const</span> <span>issue</span> <span>=</span> {
	<span>fields:</span> {
		<span>summary:</span> <span>"Test for Jira utility"</span>,
		<span>issuetype:</span> {
			<span>id:</span> <span>issueType</span>
		},
		<span>project:</span> {
			<span>id:</span> <span>projectId</span>
		},
		<span>reporter:</span> {
			<span>id:reporterId</span>
		},
	}
  }

<span>jira</span>
  <span>.addNewIssue(issue)</span>
  <span>.then(result</span> <span>=></span> {
	<span>console.log(result)</span>
  }<span>)</span>
  <span>.catch(err</span> <span>=></span> {
	<span>console.log(err)</span>
  }<span>)</span>

where the issuetype is 10001 that is story

but while executing I’m getting

<span>Error</span>: {<span>"errorMessages"</span>:[],<span>"errors"</span>:{<span>"issuetype"</span>:<span>"The issue type selected is invalid."</span>}}
    at JiraApi.<span>doRequest</span> ((Redacted <span>for</span> obv reasons)\jira-util\node_modules\jira-client\lib\jira.js:<span>347</span>:<span>13</span>)
    at <span>processTicksAndRejections</span> (<span>node</span>:internal/process/<span>task_queues</span>:<span>96</span>:<span>5</span>)

Why is this the case ?

Thank you in advance

Putting the issueType as 1 created an issue of type bug

Hi @Rahim T_S Please check what issue type id you selecting. It sounds like you are trying to choose issue type which is not available in project.

Hi @Rahim T_S ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Please verify that you are adding the correct parameters for :

issue type id
project id
reporter username

Hi Fabio,

The project Id and the reporter Id are valid, I verified that by using them to getCurrentUser and getProject APIs and they give valid expected results

I got the issue types from here
Issue Id types

Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_

Hey @Rahim T_S ,

are you sure that issue type is in your Issue Type Scheme for your project?

Hi @Sebastian Krzewiński

I found the issue types from here Issue Id types

In my project I can see the main issues being Tasks and bugs. I tried both but getting

Error: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"issuetype":"valid issue type is required"}}

Rahim T_S

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_

Yes it's valid. I checked now.

the main ones are Tasks and Bugs which are 10002 and 10004 respectively.

I tried both right now and I'm getting

Error: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"issuetype":"valid issue type is required"}}

please could you share your call code?

Hi sure,

var jira = new JiraApi({

  protocol: "https",

  host: (redacted),

  bearer: (redacted),

});

jira

  .getProject(projectId)

  .then((project) => {

    console.log(`Project: ${project.name}`);

  })

  .catch((err) => {

    console.log(err);

  });

jira

  .getCurrentUser()

  .then(user => {

    console.log(`UserId: ${user.key}, \n User: ${user.name}`)

  })

  .catch((err) => {

    console.log(err)

  })




This gives me results,

Rahim T_S

  const issue = {

    fields: {

        project: {

            id: projectId

        },

        summary: "Test for Jira utility",

        issuetype: {

            id: issueType

        },

        reporter: {

            id:reporterId

        }

    }

  }




jira

  .addNewIssue(issue)

  .then(result => {

    console.log(result)

  })

  .catch(err => {

    console.log(err)

  })

@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_  This is the code block for issue creation I added

I use jira-client
