put some information in fieds

soukaina charkaoui

Hello I have  a CSV file , I extract information from the file with a python script : like date , issue name ...  the second part of my script will be  to put those information in the custom fields on jira , automatically , I tried to  check the API python jira but I did'nt understand well how I can do it. 

Thanks for your help

If you're assigning the CSV data to variables already, you should be able to assign them to custom fields using a dictionary.  The custom fields in my example are text fields, but this logic should work. You'll want to replace the customfield_ID with the IDs from your environment.

 

from jira import JIRA


jira_options={'server': 'http://example.com'}
jira=JIRA(options=jira_options,basic_auth=('username','password'))

<Your existing code for importing data from CSV>


issue_dict = {
 'project': {'id': <project_id>},
 'summary': 'New issue from python script',
 'description': 'Your description here',
 'issuetype': {'name': 'Bug'},
 'customfield_10400': variable1
 'customfield_10401': variable2
 'customfield_10402': variable3
}


new_issue = jira.create_issue(fields=issue_dict)
