Need to specify Sprint Information in Rest API request.

Question

HI Team,

I am trying to create a Jira issue using Rest API and need to specify which sprint this issue needs to be created.

I have used below schema, however, the "bad request " error is thrown.

1.

"fields": {

"project": {

"id": "10000"

},

"summary": "something'\''s wrong",

"issuetype": {

"id": "10000"

},

"assignee": {

"name": "homer"

},

"reporter": {

"name": "smithers"

},

"priority": {

"id": "20000"

},

“Sprint: : {

“name”: “Sprint1:

},

"labels": [

"bugfix",

"blitz_test"

]

Throws bad request error

"fields": {

"project": {

"id": "10000"

},

"summary": "something'\''s wrong",

"issuetype": {

"id": "10000"

},

"assignee": {

"name": "homer"

},

"reporter": {

"name": "smithers"

},

"priority": {

"id": "20000"

},

“Sprint: :  “Sprint1",

"labels": [

"bugfix",

"blitz_test"

this as well throws "bad request" error.

],

That is right because if you generate a json from the class it will not be the json you need. Jira accepts only certaion jsons. In your case it must be like this { "fields": { "project": { "key": "SP" }, "summary": "Sprint issue test", "description": "REST APIs are great.", "issuetype": { "name": "Bug" }, "customfield_10001": 1 } } Your Json will be like this " customfield_XXXXX": "Sprint 1"} {"project":"SP", "summary": "Sprint issue test", "description": "REST APIs are great.",
It is a bad request. You need to create a class with the fields variable which is of the Fields class. Also you need to create a project class with the key variable and the project variable in Fields class must be of this class. And you also need an issue type.

I was trying to use this example

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/creating-an-issue-in-a-sprint-using-the-jira-rest-api-875321726.html

However i am creating a class to send the data

public class Fields
{
public Project project { get; set; }
public string summary { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public int customfield_XXXXX { get; set; }

}

this is giving bad request as well.

You should use Jira Software Rest Api
