I've been working on creating tickets with all their info in Jira using the REST API. I've played with both version 2 and 3, which seems to still be in beta. One thing I have struggled with is setting the reporter during the ticket creation. For some reason the calls are successful, and the ticket is created with all other data, but I just can't get it to set the reporter. I've tried setting it via the username, email, and account ID but no success. Wondering if anyone else has some experience with this and could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
Here's my request body:
{
"fields": {
"project": {
"key": "CASE"
},
"summary": "Test Subject",
"issuetype": {
"name": "Accounting Case"
},
"description": "This is a test"
},
"reporter": {
"id": "6393a2f2z6c85b343c0991ab"
}
}
