Set Parent Link When Creating Issue in Post Function

Drew_5fvkta

I have an automation that triggers when an issue in a project transitions to a certain status. In the automation, I'm setting certain fields. One field is Parent Link, which is giving me an error when executing.

The error is a 400 code, with a message of "Incorrect request: {"parent":"data was not an object"}"

The expected value for setting this field is simply an issue key, which is what I'm doing:

One thing to note is that the newly created issue is not in the same project as the issue that triggers the automation, I'm not sure if that matters. Doesn't seem like it should though.

Is the tooltip for the expected value just incorrect?

We have identified the bug recently and released a hotfix in the marketplace. It should be working now.

Please give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Drew,

Why are you doing this through JMWE and not just a simple Automation rule?

Also, you should be using the Parent field instead of Parent Link.

All of that being said, those probably have nothing to do with your error. Usually that looks like a Permission thing. And usually because you either don't have Browse Project permissions on the Project that you are trying to create in or you don't have Create issue permissions. Sometimes that has to do with Issue Level Security as well. I would start with investigating all of those.
