Hi!!!

This is the method that you are looking for if you are using Jira on Cloud.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-type-schemes/#api-rest-api-3-issuetypescheme-issuetypeschemeid-issuetype-put

But if you are using Jira Server/Data Center this method doesn’t exist.
You must follow the next flow by api rest:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.13.9/

1. Get the issuetypes of the project.

2. Create a new issuetype scheme with the issuetypes that you have got plus the new ones that you want to add.

3. Associate the new issuetype scheme with the project.

4. Delete the old issuetype scheme if you can and want to.

I hope I have helped you.

Best Regards

Txus

We followed below for adding issue type in issue type schema via REST API but it's not working and showing error (HTTP Status 405 – Method Not Allowed)

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-type-schemes/#api-rest-api-3-issuetypescheme-issuetypeschemeid-issuetype-put

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.13.9/

We are getting below error while following

Body :{ "issueTypeIds": [ "10000", "10002", "10003" ] }
