Passing multiple components in JSON Object

[Maximilian Herbert]

Hey there,

I use the ConfiForm makro in Confluence to generate a Jira Issue.

In the Macro body I defined the Object with JSON. 

But I somehow cannot pass multiple components to create the Jira Ticket... anyone has a clue what is the correct syntax / where my mistake is? I tried out multiple syntaxes but none worked so far...

The code below is my latest try.

{
"fields": {
"project": {
"id": "XXXX"
},
"summary": "Summary1",
"description": "Description1",
"issuetype": {
"id": "XXXX"
},
"components": {
"name": [
"Component1",
"Component2"
]
},
"labels": [
"Label1",
"Label2"
]
}
}

Hi @Maximilian Herbert 

According to Jira documentation it goes like this

"components": [
  {
  "name": "Component1"
  },
  {
  "name": "Component2"
  }
],

Hi Alex,

that was one of my very first tries..
But this error occures:

• Could not prepare JSON (Expected a ',' or '}' at 316 [character 2 line 14]): '{ "fields": { "project": { "id": "XXXX" }, "summary": "XXXX", "description": "XXX", "issuetype": { "id": "XXX" }, "components": [ { "name": "Component1" "name": "Component2" } ], } }'

Please have a look more carefully at what I have suggested to do and your "error"

[Maximilian Herbert]

That exactly is the thing:
The JSON code which generates this error looks like that:

{ "fields": { "project": { "id": "XXXX" }, "summary": "XXXX", "description": "XXX", "issuetype": { "id": "XXX" }, "components": [ { "name":"Component1" }, { "name":"Component2" } ], "labels": [ "Label1", "Label2" ] } }

So basically it is the same code as you commented.. I dont know why there are missing brackets in the error....

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

Does it shows the same error about the broken JSON?

[Maximilian Herbert]

Nope. My latest code generates the broken JSON error and yours leads to the could not prepare json code....

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

This is a perfectly valid JSON

{ "fields": { "project": { "id": "XXXX" }, "summary": "XXXX", "description": "XXX", "issuetype": { "id": "XXX" }, "components": [ { "name":"Component1" }, { "name":"Component2" } ], "labels": [ "Label1", "Label2" ] } }

Could you share the actual configuration - page storage format?

Hi @Maximilian Herbert 

Adding to Alex's answer...

Here is the documentation reference to check: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/advanced-field-editing-using-json-993924663.html

And, please check for any stray / trailing commas.  In your post about "one of my first tries" there is definitely a stray comma.

Kind regards,
Bill
