Hello Avitesh,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It's possible to create a ticket via REST Api with approvers, but in this case, it will be necessary to add the field id.

Multi-user picker custom field - A custom UI field that enables multiple users to be selected.

"customfield_11458" : [ { "name":"inigomontoya" }, { "name":"tommytomtomahawk" }]

On "name" you will add QM id (if it's a customer) or the Atlassian account id (for agents).

Here is the template that I used and that successfully created a ticket with approvers:

curl --request POST \
--url 'https://mysite.atlassian.net/rest/servicedeskapi/request' \
--user 'name@domain.com:APITOKEN' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"serviceDeskId": "12",
"requestTypeId": "223",
"requestFieldValues": {
"summary": "Request JSD help via REST",
"description": "I need a new *mouse* for my Mac",
"customfield_10100": [{ "name":"1a23b45cde67f89g1h23ij4k" }]
}
}
}'

Is it possible to select approver by email, not by name? We have people with same name in Jira.

Hi Sergei, 

You should be able to achieve this by using the email of the user to fetch the Atlassian id with the Jira REST API. Then you should be able to tunnel it into the call above. 

You will need to use "id" as key in the list instead of "name" or "username".
