How to get responder email as Reporter when Create Jira issue with Microsoft Forms response

Question

Hi

I am creating a flow in power automate  to create a jira issue with Microsoft Forms response using Jira connector API.

Currently Reporter filed in the Jira issue is showing who created Jira API and no MS forms responder.

Is there anyway to get MS forms responder's email as jira case reporter when creating issue in Jira?

Thanks

I am doing something similar as @AYE EI KO. Please elaborate your answer. I am using "Create a new issue (V3) (Preview)" and there's only 'Jira Instance', 'Issue Type Id', and 'Body' fields available. There's no option or field to set the reporter ID.

I am also trying to use "Edit Issue (V2) (Preview)" to change the reporter to the one who is responding to the MS Form.

Is there a way we can fetch the reporter ID from an email address associated with an Atlassian account?

I am trying the following as suggested in one of the threads but with no luck.

It doesn't set the Reporter field with just an email address. Or, is there any way we can do so? Thanks in advance.

@AYE EI KO Welcome to the Atlassian community

In the form setup in the create issue step their is a reporter ID.  You will need to set the reporter ID to change the reporter field.    I do not believe that there is a way to do this dynamically.
