Reported Field taking API auth User value

[Vivek Burman]

I'm trying to create a Jira Issue with API, my use case is the API authentication user creds are different. And in the create payload I'm trying to pass another user's id in reported field.

But Jira API discards the reporter payload value and sets reporter as unassigned. How do I enforce Jira to take the reporter id as reporter for Jira issue and not the API auth user

Hi, 

Here's a quick snippet of code to give the idea.
The code is in Powershell (ps1)

$user ='' # YOUR EMAIL
$pass = '' # TOKEN 
$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))
$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
$Headers = @{
Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}

$Parameters_1 = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::ParseQueryString([String]::Empty)
$Parameters_1['query'] = '' # EMAIL PEOPLE 1
$UserSearch_1 = [System.UriBuilder]"<<YOUR_URL>>/rest/api/2/user/search"
$UserSearch_1.Query = [uri]::EscapeUriString([System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($Parameters.ToString()))
$ResultUserSearch_1 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $UserSearch_1.Uri -Method Get -Headers $Headers -ContentType "application/json"

$Parameters_2 = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::ParseQueryString([String]::Empty)
$Parameters_2['query'] = '' #EMAIL PEOPLE 2
$UserSearch_2 = [System.UriBuilder]"<<YOUR_URL>>/rest/api/2/user/search"
$UserSearch_2.Query = [uri]::EscapeUriString([System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($Parameters.ToString()))
$ResultUserSearch_2 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $UserSearch_2.Uri -Method Get -Headers $Headers -ContentType "application/json"

$Body = ""
$BodyJson =""
$Body = @{
assignee = @{
id = $ResultUserSearch_1.accountId
}
reporter = @{
id = $ResultUserSearch_2.accountId
}
issuetype = @{
id = "" # Specific for you
}
project = @{
id = "" # Specific for you
}
summary = "Main order flow broken"

}
$BodyJson = ConvertTo-Json $Body
$BodyFields = '{"fields":'+$BodyJson.ToString()+'}'


$CreateIssue = [System.UriBuilder]'<<YOUR_URL>>/rest/api/2/issue'
$ResultCreateIssue = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $CreateIssue.Uri -Method Post -Headers $Headers -Body $BodyFields.ToString() -ContentType "application/json"

So, as I see from article of cloud jira  response as {"accountId": "5b10a2844c20165700ede21g"}

But in Jira Server api accountId field is not there, rather we have key field and name field
