Creating a Jira Issue with a AJAX POST does not work

[Max K]

Hey,

I've been trying to create an Issue in Jira from Confluence via an embedded javascript file for quite a while now, but it just does not seem to work. Currently the returned error is "415 Unsupported Media Type", which according to this site
should be fixed, by adding the correct ContentType, which I did, but which did not help

here is my javascript code

let req = {
    fields: {
        project: {
            "key": "ERM"
        },
        summary: "Test #00",
        description: "Test #00",
        dataType: 'json',
        issuetype: {
            "name": "Deliverable",
        },
        "Component/s": ["AIDA"],
        Project: {
            key: "ERM",
        },
        Vendor: {
            value: "NC",
        },
    }
};

function init() {
    $.ajaxSetup({
        crossDomain: true,
        contentType: 'application/xml; charset=utf-8',
        xhrFields: {
            withCredentials: true
        },
    });
    $.post("../../../jira/rest/api/2/issue/", JSON.stringify(req), processData);
};

function processData(data) {
    console.log(data);
};

Hopefully one of you is able to help me! Thanks in advance.

Your content type should be 'application/json' -- not xml.

While that version of Fisheye/Crucible referenced in your link may accept XML, Jira doesn't.
