How to link defects using ZAPI cloud?

[Krishna-Kumar.Rajendran]

Hi Team,

I want to link defect through ZAPI cloud. but the request body template provided in https://zfjcloud.docs.apiary.io/#reference/execution/update-execution/update-execution is invalid Json. when i hit endpoint with requestbody by modifying defect entity as json array, i get below error

{    "errorType": "ERROR",    "clientMessage": "issueId field value is null or 0 is not valid.",    "errorCode": 123}

But if i remove the defect entity, the status is getting updated successfully. Please help

Request example in docs is incorrect

{"status":{"id":1},"id":"0001456664462103-5a6ee13a3f6b-0001","projectId":10000,"issueId":10000,"cycleId":"0001456664262308-5a6ee13a3f6b-0001","versionId":-1,"comment":"Comment for execution","defects":"["IZ-1","IZ-2"]","assigneeType":"currentUser/assignee","assignee":"userKey"}

defects field should be list of native jira ids. e.g

"defects":[12345,67891]

 not

"defects":["proj-123","proj-345"]

So only way to extract the native Jira id in backend is through Jira API alone. not by Zapi!

this has to be addressed whereas we can use Testcase IDs instead of native jira ids for test case add, but not for defect mapping
