Changing issue type with Rest API V3 Cloud, Return 415, even if editmeta say it's allowed value

[jbrossard]

1) I did a GET to "https://xxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/{issue_key}/editmeta"
2) I made sure that the allowedValues for issueType, I can see the issueType I want to change to.
3) I did a PUT to https://xxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/{issue_key} 

auth = HTTPBasicAuth("xxxx@xxxx.com", API_TOKEN)
headers = {"Accept": "application/json"}
payload= json.dumps({fields": {"issuetype":{"id": "0000" } }})

response = requests.request(

"PUT", url, headers=headers,

auth=auth,

data=payload

)

print(response)   

BUT, this give me <Response [415]>

What is happening ?

So 415 indicates Unsupported Media Type. Could you try adding content type in your header, e.g Content-Type: application/json, and see if that changes anything.

My curl command would typically look like this:

curl --request POST \
--url 'https://<yourDomain>/rest/api/3/issue/<issueKey>/comment' \
--header 'Accept:application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--user '<atlassianAccountemail>:<APIToken>' \
--data '{
"body": "Charlie"
}'
