Submit portal form using Python

coke rags

Hello all,

I'm looking for a way to submit a portal form using Python. For example I have a form at https://xxxxxxx.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/group/1/create/1

I can authenticate using email:token with or without the jira module and also create issues. However I want to create issues by submitting the form on the portal. Is there a way to do this using python?

 

from jira import JIRA

jira_connection = JIRA(basic_auth=('email@email.com', 'tokenxxxxxxxxx'), server="https://myinstance.atlassian.net")

issue_dict = {
'project': {'key': 'TEST'},
'summary': 'Testing script',
'description': 'Testing script',
'issuetype': {'name': 'Service Request'},
}

new_issue = jira_connection.create_issue(fields=issue_dict)
print(new_issue)

I'm not aware of a possibility to interact with that user forms from Python (or the Jira SDK), but the form doesn't make anything other than creating a Jira issue internally.

So if you just set all fields that are available in your form + the service request type you should be good to go with your Python script.
