How to add epics to an initiative using the python API

[Kai Franke]

I am using portfolio and would like to automatically assign epics to an initiative using the python API. I only found a function to add issues to an epic:

https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#jira.JIRA.add_issues_to_epic

To me it looks like I can only do that directly from portfolio

Can anybody help?

Hi Kai,

There are GET calls that can pull that information using the parent link field, but there's not an option to update that yet. We are currently working on endpoints for Portfolio in this feature request:

• JPOSERVER-2322 Portfolio API V.2

Any existing POST API endpoints are experimental at this time.

I hope that clarifies things but do let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon
