Can't figure out API create issue problem

[Gabriel MOSCALU]

Hi,

i need to be able to create issues on multiple projects when a specific transition is done in a project (multi-tenant environment). i though i could use the REST API with a CURL-based script  to do so, but i have some issue with it.

- i login to REST API just fine

 curl -s -c "cookies.txt" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -d "os_username=$USERNAME" -d "os_password=$PASSWORD" -d "os_cookie=true" $JIRA_URL/login.jsp --output login.html

- i query the createmeta method and i get a response 

curl -u $USERNAME:$PASSWORD "$JIRA_URL/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=$PROJECT_KEY&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields" -H "X-Atlassian-token: no-check" --output out/$PROJECT_KEY.INC_CREATE_INFO.out --silent

- i generate the JSON representation considering the fields i can see as mandatory in the "Create Issue" screen:

{
 "fields": {
 "project": {
 "id": "11226"
 },
 "issuetype": {
 "id": "10306"
 },
 "summary": "test from api",
 "description": "test from api",
 "assignee": {
 "name": "level1"
 },
 "reporter": {
 "name": "level1"
 },
 "priority": {
 "id": "10001"
 },
 "security": {
 "id": "10101"
 },
 "customfield_10701": "ITSEC-9087",
 "customfield_10401": { "id": "12122"},
 "customfield_11801": { "id": "12359"},
 "customfield_10702": { "id": "10604"},
 "customfield_10302": { "id": "11200"},
 "customfield_11700": { "id": "12301"},
 "customfield_10602": { "id": "10500"},
 "customfield_10606": { "id": "10507"},
 "customfield_10603": { "id": "10505"},
 "customfield_10709": 100,
 "customfield_10704": 100
 }
}

- when i run the JSON in the REST API Browser, it works fine:

 "key": "WIREFR-3009",
 "self": "https://JIRA_URL/rest/api/2/issue/61112"
}

- when i run it in the script, it's not working and i have no error

Hey Gabriel, did you got it solved. If yes what was the problem. I am facing the same issue.

[Gabriel MOSCALU]

Hi

yes, i got it working by:

* downloading the createmeta information

* parse the required fields, and build the JSONs 

* launch the issue creates

i cannot attach the whole scripts here, they're kind of huge...

[ashish chaudhary]

Thanks for the reply.  Yeah I tried to do the same and just passed the required fields with one sub values.  Some thing like this.

curl -D- -u user:pass -X POST --data '{\"fields\":{\"project\":{\"id\":\"18690\"},\"issuetype\":{\"id\":\"12100\"},\"summary\":\"SampleusingAPI\",\"components\":{\"id\":\"26559\"},\"reporter\":{\"key\":\"username\"},\"duedate\":\"2018-10-31\"  }}'  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\"  https://localhost/rest/api/2/issue.

Although there are multiple fields in every category I chose the one i felt is the most relevant.         Did you add everything you got from createmeta?

[ashish chaudhary]

No worries, got it working. Thanks Gabriel for all the help :)
