Hi there!
I'm trying to add a subtask to an existing issue on my development environment. But I'm not succeeding on it.
Here is my function:
To add subtasks to an existing issue through Jira's REST API, you'll need to send a POST request to the Jira server with the necessary information. Here's a general outline of the steps involved:
1. **Authenticate**: Make sure you have the necessary authentication credentials to access the Jira API. This typically involves using either basic authentication with a username and password or OAuth tokens.
2. **Retrieve Issue Details**: First, you'll need to retrieve the details of the existing parent issue using the Jira REST API. You'll need the issue ID or key of the parent issue to proceed.
3. **Create Subtasks**: Next, construct a JSON payload containing the details of the subtasks you want to create. This payload should include the summary, description, and any other relevant fields for each subtask.
4. **Send POST Request**: Use the Jira REST API endpoint to create subtasks under the parent issue. The endpoint typically looks like `/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/subtask`.
5. **Handle Response**: After sending the POST request, handle the response from the Jira server to ensure that the subtasks were created successfully. The response should contain details about the newly created subtasks, including their IDs and keys.
Here's a basic example of what the POST request might look like using cURL:
```bash
curl -D- -u username:password -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"fields":{"project":{"key":"PROJECT_KEY"},"summary":"Subtask summary","parent":{"key":"PARENT_KEY"},"issuetype":{"name":"Sub-task"}}}' http://your-jira-url/rest/api/2/issue/
```
Replace `username`, `password`, `PROJECT_KEY`, and `PARENT_KEY` with your actual credentials and issue details.
Remember to consult the Jira REST API documentation for the specific endpoint URLs, required fields, and any additional parameters or headers needed for your use case.
As same following these all steps and make API. This Is my site:https://centrelinkfunds.com/
