How to set components in Jira REST API 5.x while creating a issue?

[Mani Chellamuthu]

HI,

I am creating issues using Jira REST API 5.x. Both issue type and components are avaialbe on the same project. The REST API call creates the issue with no component. I tried following syntax, none of them working,

"components": [{"add":{"name":"TestComponent2"}}]
"components": [{"set":{"name":"TestComponent2"}}]
"components": [{"add":[{"name":"TestComponent2"}]}]
"components": [{"set":[{"name":"TestComponent2"}]}]

Please guide me to resolve it.

It does not need "add" or "set" to include a component in an issue as per documentation,

This syntax works for me,

"components": [{"name":"TestComponent1"}]

I was also having the same problem but it worked for me. Thanks !!

This works perfectly fine for me. "components": [{"name":"TestComponent1"}]

how can you add multiple components? I tried followings:

"components": [{"id":"XXXX"},{"id":"YYYY}]

"components": [{"id":"XXXX", "id":"YYYY}]

I would guess you need

"components": [{"name":"XXXX"},{"name":"YYYY}]

Jira 7.11 :

{
"update" : {
"components" : [{"set" : [{"name" : "Automation"}]}]
}
}

Yes the json format is hard to follow with so many brackets
