Create a filter using REST API

[Jeffrey Bistrong]

We merged two jira instances, and some of the filters did not copy over. I am trying to programmatically move the filters from one jira instance to another using the API and postman. However I am running into an error 

{"errorMessages":["There was an error parsing JSON. Check that your request body is valid."]}

This is the payload I am sending

{

"description": "na",

"jql": "project in (PB, ROCK, GD, BC, MAT, HEAT, PLAT, WS) AND status in (Closed, Done, Rejected) AND resolution in (Done, Duplicate, "Already Exists", "By Design", "Cannot Reproduce", "Won't Do", Responded) AND labels = CurrentClientConcern ORDER BY updated DESC",

"name": "Support Agent Recently Closed"

}

I suspect is has something to do with the quotes in the jql, but I am unsure how to work around it

[Trudy Claspill · Accepted solution]

Try using single quotes within the JQL around Already Exists, By Design, Cannot Reproduce, and Won't Do

You can escape the inner quotes with a backslash character.

{
"description": "na",
"jql": "project in (PB, ROCK, GD, BC, MAT, HEAT, PLAT, WS) AND status in (Closed, Done, Rejected) AND resolution in (Done, Duplicate, \"Already Exists\", \"By Design\", \"Cannot Reproduce\", \"Won't Do\", Responded) AND labels = CurrentClientConcern ORDER BY updated DESC",
"name": "Support Agent Recently Closed"
}
