I'm trying to write a basic script that finds issues that are past due, and updates the Priority to 'Blocking'. I've made sure that I have edit permission, and the field is present in the edit issue screen. Here is the script:
# This script automatically updates an epic's 'initiative' field to the epic name
from collections import Counter
from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA(server = 'https://examplesite.atlassian.net', basic_auth=('username', 'password')) # a username/password tuple
# Find all issues that are not done where the due date is past due
issues = jira.search_issues('project = "AS" AND issuetype = Task AND status not in (Done, "In production", "Wireframe complete", "Will not do") AND duedate < now()')
# For each issue, comment that it is past due
# Currently can't figure out why I can't update the Priority automatically
for issue in issues:
print('{}: {}'.format(issue.key, issue.fields.summary))
jira.add_comment(issue, 'This issue is past due.')
# issue.update(Priority='Blocking')
AS-91: test-1
