How to add component while creating an issue via JIRA REST API

[Roman Gulevskiy]

I can't understand what I'm missing

Without "component" filed it works just fine, but I can't create issue with defined component.

It gives me "components => string 'data was not an array'" error.

$new_issue = array(

    'fields' => array(

        'project' => array('id' => '10602'),

        'summary' => 'TEST',

        'issuetype' => array('id' => '3'),

        'reporter' => array('name' => 'myname'),

        'components' => array('id' => '10705'),

        )

);

Hi Roman,

You'll actually need to pass the Components field as an array instead of simply adding it as an element to the new_issue array. Take a look in the example of the /rest/api/2/issue REST API:

{
    "update": {
        "worklog": [
            {
                "add": {
                    "started": "2011-07-05T11:05:00.000+0000",
                    "timeSpent": "60m"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "fields": {
        "project": {
            "id": "10000"
        },
        "summary": "something's wrong",
        "issuetype": {
            "id": "10000"
        },
        "assignee": {
            "name": "homer"
        },
        "reporter": {
            "name": "smithers"
        },
        "priority": {
            "id": "20000"
        },
        "labels": [
            "bugfix",
            "blitz_test"
        ],
        "timetracking": {
            "originalEstimate": "10",
            "remainingEstimate": "5"
        },
        "security": {
            "id": "10000"
        },
        "versions": [
            {
                "id": "10000"
            }
        ],
        "environment": "environment",
        "description": "description",
        "duedate": "2011-03-11",
        "fixVersions": [
            {
                "id": "10001"
            }
        ],
        "components": [
            {
                "id": "10000"
            }
        ],
        "customfield_60000": "jira-developers",
        "customfield_20000": "06/Jul/11 3:25 PM",
        "customfield_80000": {
            "value": "red"
        },
        "customfield_40000": "this is a text field",
        "customfield_30000": [
            "10000",
            "10002"
        ],
        "customfield_70000": [
            "jira-administrators",
            "jira-users"
        ],
        "customfield_50000": "this is a text area. big text.",
        "customfield_10000": "09/Jun/81"
    }
}

While Summary is:

"summary": "something's wrong",

The Components field is:

"components": [
            {
                "id": "10000"
            }
        ]

Does that make sense?

[Roman Gulevskiy]

yes, thanx, I've seen this) but I don't know what I should change in my code, I'm not really good at php, 'components' => array('id' => '10705'), maybe you can help me a little bit with syntax, please?

[Roman Gulevskiy]

oh, I did it, I had just put additional [] brackets to components, thanx again!

[Matheus Fernandes]

Hey Roman, I'm glad to hear that! :) You are most welcome!
