Error while trying to create an issue using jira api

Question

I am using jira api to create a new issue in my jira project using this request body

{

"fields": {

"project": {

"id": 1234

},

"summary": "Summary",

"description": "",

"issuetype": {

"name": "Bug"

},

"priority": {

"name": "P3"

},

"customfield_10817": {

"id": "1234"

},

"customfield_10767": {

"id": "12343"

},

"reporter": {

"accountId": "12345"

},

"customfield_10872": {

"id": "12345"

}

and i am getting this response{

"errorMessages": [

"Please add Ticket Type"

],

"errors": {}

}

I don't understand what is meant by Ticket Type because we are already mentioning the type of issue.

Hi @cyril_kunjumon

That is the correct API call.  I hope you are using the POST call and not the GET call.

Thanks,

Hi @cyril_kunjumon

Welcome to the community!

Your JSON data looks fine.  If you don't mind, can you post the REST API call url here?  You can hide out the domain part if required.

Thanks,
