Preselecting fields when creating Jira issues?

[Markus Lepper]

The deep link to create a task (issuetype 3) in my project xxx (pid=10032) is e.g. https://xxx/jira/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10032&issuetype=3&Create=Create

Could I extend this link to have some more Jira-inbuilt fields preselected; e.g.

...&component=12345 or &priority=2 or &securitylevel=4

(Same question for custome fields)

Thanks a lot & BR,

Markus

You can, see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+Issues+via+direct+HTML+links.

Thanks Jamie!

Didn't know this page so far.

Played yround a bit and I think this is for another purpose= fully generate issues with defined fields set.

I need to have the "Create issue screen" with some fields pre-populated and the user could add more data before pressing "Create issue" button.

I need to extend this URL: https://xxx/jira/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10032&issuetype=3&Create=Create

Adding e.g. "&summary=test" does not add the text

Link from your linked page uses another script: http://xxx.atlassian.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10032&issuetype=3

Any idea?

Yeah, you need the !init bit, otherwise if all fields are present, it will commit the issue. It's fiddly, I went through this a while ago, but it should be possible.

If you have an example that would probably be much appreciated by other people...!

Thanks Jamie,

took a bit time to play around but now it's working ;-)

Sure :-)

https://xxx/jira/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10032&issuetype=3&priority=2&security=10524&components=10493&summary=Person%20xxx%20needs%20access%20to%20system%20yyy%20with%20rights%20zzz

works for requesting access rights.
