Can't update summary and description anymore of a Jira issue.

Mark Matchynski

We are using version 8.20.11

I am trying to update an issue using PUT to this url:

https://jira-server/rest/api/2/issue/KEY-1234

Data {'fields': {'summary': 'newsummary'}}

I also tried with:

Data {'fields': {'summary': [{'set': 'newsummary'}]}}

But it appears to not be working anymore. I am getting a 415 error. I have also tried updating using the numeric id of the issue and that has the same issue.

I was able to get the original endpoint to work using a pat token. Using the password with _session.put appears to no longer work.

Hi,

Can you elaborate on what error message you're getting?

Maybe try executing the call in Postman for example?

Seems like a header problem, try adding these:

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: */*

Hope this helps!

Per https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.20.11/

I also tried:

{"<span>update</span>":<span>{"summary":[{"set":"test"}]}}</span>

I get the same 415 error.

Other api posts are working fine so it should not be a header issue. The endpoint appears to have changed.

Other api PUT and POSTS are working fine so it should not be a header issue. The endpoint appears to have changed.

I am using session.put() if that helps.

from atlassian import Jira

After instantiating Jira the ._session

Nice!

Thanks for sharing your final solution!

I found out how to get the update to work using a password and not just the pat token. I had to use this function: issue_create_or_update from the atlassian jira package.
