Issue type in the post /issue api

Mansi Gusain

Hi, I wanted to create an issue using postman using this api -

https://name.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue

so as per the documentation lot of fields are there-

The Jira Cloud platform REST API

But the issue type is confusing me . How to add the issue type?

{

"fields": {

"assignee": {

"id": "712020:6d4ed947-e444-4b19-a16d-caee6b51d4c8"

"parent": {

"key": "MANSI"

"project": {

"id": "10001"

"summary": "Main order flow broken",

"issuetype": {

"id": "10000" ------->this how to define this failing for all values

}

}}

I used the /createMeta also to get the issue type but it does not fix the issue

Hi @Mansi Gusain ,

The error is related to parent field in REST API, have you used that one in your request?

For more details, you can refer this article: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/developer/creating-a-jira-cloud-issue-in-a-single-rest-call

Let me know if you still having issues.

Hi @Mansi Gusain

Welcome to Atlassian community!

As per the REST API call for create issue,

You have to use the field like as below:

"issuetype": { "id": "<number>" }

You can get the issuetype ID details from admin section of Jira.

Please, let me know if you have any questions.

Hi thankyou for replying, the so I went to the admin section there the id was 10004

Now from here I add it to the id in the body for issue-

Hi @Mansi Gusain

Parent field is required if you are creating subtask issue for parent issue, you can remove it.

@Mansi Gusain

Your parent key should be like MANSI-123 etc

"parent": {

"key": "MANSI"

Can you check this?

Mansi Gusain

Hi, the parent key is MANSI only, I checked it.

Mansi Gusain

Hi thanks for this article I was able to use the following body -

{"fields": {

"summary": "Summit 2019 is awesome!",

"issuetype": {

"name": "Task"

"project": {

"key": "MANSI"

"description": {

"type": "doc",

"version": 1,

"content": [

{

"type": "paragraph",

"content": [

{

"text": "This is the description.",

"type": "text"

}

]

}

]

}

Hi what are the names I can give to the api -

1. Task works

but not the bug or story...

Vishal Biyani_2pr07j

As you are creating Story or Task, parent key needs to be Epic.

It is not possible that Epic will have key = MANSI.

Mansi Gusain

okay Vishal please correct me if I am wrong, I can create tasks directly in the project but to create a bug, story I need epic?

See this is the operation -

So I am able to create the task
