Force issue creating - is it possible?

[Michael I.]

Hi.

Is there a some API to force create an issue - without workflow conditions and validation?

I`m developing my plugin and I need to create issues without specifying values for some fields, marked as "required" by Field Configuration Scheme.

Hi,

you can create issue without some required values, but I think that information like project, issue type and summary are necessary.

Pseudo Code:

MutableIssue issue = IssueFactory.getIssue(); 
issue.setProjectId(10000L); 
issue.setIssueTypeId("5"); 
issue.setSummary("SUMMARY"); 
GenericValue issueGeneric = IssueManager.createIssue(user, issue);

But there is not way to avoid a transition validation, right?

Hi Michael,

if I get you right, you want to automatically create issues, based on a transition?

Perhaps this fits your needs? https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/697735

Hi, Alexander.

No, this is not that I need. I`m developing my plugin and I need to create issues without specifying values for some fields, marked as "required" by Field Configuration Scheme.

Thanks for your answer anyway.

Best regards,

Michael.

I got as far as "this is quite difficult" as the code tries to enforce the mandatory fields at almost every turn.

However, I was able to "borrow" some code from the CSV importer - that can do it, with three caveats

1. You still have to give it a summary
2. Your users will have to be educated to fill in the fields before they can do anything else with the issue
3. The code I "borrowed" was from before the CSV importer was pulled out into it's own plugin, so it's changed quite a lot at that point.
