How do you create a Jira issue with multipel line description using REST API?

[Mont]

To give more context I am asking this question again. I am using version 2 API as noted in error below. I am able to create a single line description with just a string. When I start to follow the documentation below I receive error.

I've attempted to try the solution here https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/apis/document/structure/

I added this to the description of my python code snippet below but I am still receiving HTTPError: 400 Client Error: for url: https://jira.<domain>.com/jiradc/rest/api/2/issue?updateHistory=false

My code below. I've simplified this for trail and error just to test if it will work to call the JIRA API. Originally it was longer but I still receive error only when adding this to description.

issue_dict = {

            "project": {

                "id": '123'

            },

                "summary": "test summary 3",

                "reporter": {"name": "id"},

                "issuetype": {"name": "Task"},

                "priority": {

                    "name": "Critical"

                },

                "description": {

                    "version": 1,

                    "type": "doc",

                    "content": []

                    }

            }

Has anyone been able to successfully create a JIRA ticket with multiple lines in the description or details?

Also is there any additional documentation aside from what's provided in this post for including this in the python-api for jira?

Hi @Mont 

Have you try using "\n" for new line ?

Also I don't think you need to use the type etc..

"description": "1er line \n 2nd line"

Maybe "\\n"
