I am posting a comment with some text and external link combined as string using jira rest api(v3). Looks like below
"text [test|https://www.test.com]"
Comment shows up as normal text without external link on the jira issue. Because it adds a **backslash** before the first square bracket. Even though it looks correct on jira ticket, as soon as I select Edit on the comment, i see
text \[test|https://www.test.com]
so I tried unicode for the square bracket and posted comment like below
text [test|https://test.com]
It shows correctly as comment, but again without the external link. I tried adding couple of \\ before the first square bracket, I tried double square brackets around the external link as well, but no luck.
I am following the documentation they had for adding comment right below
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/?utm_source=%2Fcloud%2Fjira%2Fplatform%2Frest%2F&utm_medium=302#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueIdOrKey-comment-post
Basically my request is as below
var bodyData = `{
"visibility": {
"type": "role",
"value": "Administrators"
},
"body": {
"type": "doc",
"version": 1,
"content": [
{
"type": "paragraph",
"content": [
{
"text": "text [test|https://www.test.com]",
"type": "text"
}
]
}
]
}
}`;
var options = {
method: 'POST',
url: '/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment',
auth: { username: 'email@example.com', password: '<api_token>' },
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: bodyData
};
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
console.log(
'Response: ' + response.statusCode + ' ' + response.statusMessage
);
console.log(body);
});
Any thoughts on what I am missing?
