How insert lists via JIRA api (Python library)

[Robert Cuellari]

When adding a line break within the description for an issue, I use

\n

What do I need to do to do things like this:

• point one
  • sub point
• point two
  • sub point a
  • sub point b

Any help would be appreciated

I actually figured out a workaround instead of using a Jira library, I decided to just use the requests library instead.

For what it's worth:

set up a variable first for your json.  what i did was i created a ticket, then used postman to get the JSON payload and edit it to just the part i'd like to update (the fields -> description)

import requests

//(if you need it also import json

url = 'https://YOURJIRADOMAIN/rest/api/3/issue/' + 'YOURISSUEKEY'
headers = {'user': 'EMAILADDRESS:PASSWORD', "Content-Type": "application/json", 'accept':'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Basic USEYOURTOKENHERE'}
response = requests.request("PUT", url, json=payload,headers=headers)
