"issuetype":"issue type is required" on rest API issue creation

[Guy Walker]

Using the Rest API to create jira tickets (for non Jira Users to submit issues).

I'm using the following JSON:

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       { 
          "key": "FR"
       },
       "summary": "[entry.summary]",
       "description": "[entry.details]",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "NEW FEATURE"
       }
   }
}

I've also tried NEW FEATURE as Regular Case and using 

"issuetype": {
          "id": "2"
       }

I get the following response

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"issuetype":"issue type is required"}}

Any pointers on where I'm going wrong?

Hi @Guy Walker 

It look like you add wrong issue type name or id.

Please list all issue types and check if you use correct name or id (<JIRA_url>/rest/api/2/issuetype)

Hi Seba,

The only issue time I'm using in this specific FR Project is New Feature:



I'm pulling the ID number from the Issue Type Edit URL:

https://jira.12345.com/secure/admin/EditIssueType!default.jspa?id=2

Hi

What url you have in your request?

I'm actually using a confluence plugin but it seems to be using https://jira.lucidworks.com/rest/api/latest/issue/

Provide an issue type as in Bug, Story, Task or Epic

E.g.: 

"issuetype": {

          "name": "Bug"

       }

This will solve the error
