BUG: Rest API v3 Endpoint "issue"

[Mathias]

I just found out, that the issue endpoint of the v3 API of Jira Cloud will not have any problems to create an issue with the following description field:

{
   "type": "doc",
   "version": 1,
   "content": [
      {
         "type": "paragraph",
         "content": [
            {
               "type": "text",
               "text": "simple short description"
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

 Also the ADF Document builder renders it correct, the description will not be shown in the created ticket.

This is due to the additional square brackets in the lines 4 and 14. If you deleted those brackets the description will be shown.

Please create a bug ticket for this to either deal with descriptions in this form, or to throw a 400 status code and add adequate information in the ErrorCollection.

Hello @Mathias ,

Thanks for reaching out to the community, and looking this over I was not able to reproduce the behavior you are describing.

What is your full post syntax?

And are you seeing any error returned from the POST?

Testing this out I did a curl with the following data package to contain the full requirement to create the issue and everything came through without issue:

{
  "fields": {
    "project": {
      "key": "EXE"
    },
    "summary": "test bug summary",
    "description": {
      "version": 1,
      "type": "doc",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "paragraph",
          "content": [
            {
              "type": "text",
              "text": "Testing Description"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    "issuetype": {
      "name": "Bug"
    }
  }
}

so the full curl is in this format:

curl -D- -u USER@email.com:<API_TOKEN> -X POST --data '{"fields":{"project":{"key":"EXE"},"summary":"test bug summary","description": {"version": 1,"type": "doc","content": [{"type": "paragraph","content": [{"type": "text","text": "Testing Description"}]}]},"issuetype":{"name":"Bug"}}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://<BASE_URL>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/"

Hi @Earl McCutcheon ,

thanks for taking time to check the problem. I can't reproduce the problem now either...

I got no errors back from the system, the response held the key of the newly created issue and the issue was also present in Jira, but as I said, it was missing the description...

Unfortunately I did not commit the "broken" state of my code to GIT and I am currently unable to replicate it again.

So nevermind my post and I wish you happy holidays!

Hi @Mathias ,

Thanks for the follow up and I'm glad to hear your all set.  It is odd that it started working randomly without change, so there could have been a bug that was fixed between you encountering the error and testing, but if so I was not able to locate which one it was, make sure to reach back out if you see this happen again and we can take a look again.

Happy holidays to you as well :)

Regards,
Earl
