⚒️ Configuration
Add the Execute remote action post function to the transition of your choice.
In Expert mode, create a new action with the following parameters:
Name
Enter Create issue in external instance as the name of the new action.
Method
Select the POST method.
Default connection
Create a connection to the external Jira instance and select it.
REST path.
Use the following REST path .
/rest/api/2/issue
Action body
Enter a custom action body to set the fields of the new issue as needed. The following action body can be taken as a reference as well as the sample request for the Create issue REST API to set the fields.
{
"fields": {
"project": {
"id": "10200"
},
"summary": "%{issue.summary}",
"issuetype": {
"id": "10000"
},
"assignee": {
"name": "%{issue.assignee}"
},
"reporter": {
"name": "%{issue.reporter}"
},
"labels": [
"Hello",
"World"
],
"description": "%{issue.description}"
}
}
This action body will copy the summary, description, assignee and reporter of the transitioned issue into the new issue. The project and issue type must be configured manually by specifying the respective IDs of the project and issue type of your choice. Besides, the field Labels is updated in the expression with a fixed set of labels.
