jira rest api search for unassigned tickets (JS)

[MARY WALLER]

Hi,

when searching for unassigned tickets in JS using:

const res = await httpClient.get(

`${jiraUrl}/search?jql=project=TMAFTO&assignee%20is%20EMPTY&maxResults=20&issuetype=incident&status=open`);

it always returns the last 'maxResults' tickets created.

I've tried every combination of url encoding, quotes, etc, but always the same, whatever number I use for 'maxResults' is the number of tickets returned - open or closed, assigned or not.

What I want is the rest equivalent of this JQL (which works):

project = TMAFTO AND issuetype = "incident" AND status = Open AND assignee is EMPTY

TIA for any enlightenment!

Hi,

Can you try this:

search?jql=project=TMAFTO%20and%20assignee%20is%20EMPTY%20and%20issuetype=incident%20and%20status=open&maxResults=20

fantastic - that works!
I'd tried %26 instead of & but that didn't.

Thank you so much :)
