Hi @dharm dutt

You do not indicate how you are trying to do this: in some script / program, in an automation for Jira rule, in a spreadsheet, etc.

Perhaps use whatever concatenation functions exist in your environment to build the URL first and then us it for the REST API call.

Kind regards,
Bill
