Can I create a task via HTTP URL (not REST)

[ben]

I have previously used YouTrack and I really like the ability to create draft tickets simply by going to a URL like this in my browser:

(some domain/) newIssue?title=SomeTitle&description=blah

Does Jira support this? How do I do it?

Hi @ben , @Keri Savoca has written an article on how to do this. You can read it here: https://kerisavoca.medium.com/how-to-make-a-link-that-creates-a-new-issue-in-jira-54ff93c61e24

Have a nice weekend! Rik

Hi Rik, this is good start, it does help create a new ticket of a certain type on a certain project, but it doesn't seem to let me pre-fill any information into the summary or the description. I tried looking at the headers and adding "summary=test&description=blah" but it still doesn't fill the info or let me proceed past the first "are you sure you want to create the ticket" page.

Do you or @Keri Savoca know of any workarounds?

[Rik de Valk]

I don't think setting any other fields is possible.
Using the Issue Collector is probably the thing closest to a work-around. But it does require the ability to embed HTML / JS in the location where you want to have the 'link'.
