[Martin Lee]

Hi All

I'm trying to change the reporter when the ticket is created but keeps failing?

or add the Assignee to a ticket

i am picking up someone else's code so quite new to this any help would be great :)

PowerShell below

PARAM(

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1)]

   [DateTime]$PreliveBeginDate,

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 2)]

   [DateTime]$PreliveEndDate,

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 3)]

   [string]$PreliveTestPlan,

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 4)]

   [string]$EnvironmentName,

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 5)]

   [string]$ReleaseName,

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 6)]

   [string]$JIRAUsername,

   [parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 7)]

   [string]$JIRAPassword

)

Echo $PreliveBeginDate

Echo $PreliveEndDate

$PreliveBeginDateString = $PreliveBeginDate.ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')

$PreliveEndDateString = $PreliveEndDate.ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')

Echo $PreliveBeginDateString

Echo $PreliveEndDateString

Echo $JIRAUsername

Echo $JIRAPassword

function ConvertTo-Base64($string) {

$bytes  = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($string);

$encoded = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes);

return $encoded;

}

Hello @Martin Lee 

In the request body, object names are case sensitive, so you must use accountId, not accountid:

"reporter":{"accountId": "61ddad887c6f980070a9dd16"}
