How to copy description field via REST API

[Randy]

Hi,

I'm trying to clone an issue via scriptrunner for cloud.  Since my description is styled with bullets and headings, i can't figure out how to read it from an existing issue and set it on a newly created issue since the new issue takes a string as input but the issue i'm reading from returns description as an object.

Does anyone know how i could do this?  Ideally i'd like to avoid having to write a description to string serializer.

Thanks.

Figured it out.  Version 2 of the api still returns description as wiki markup.  Version 3 returns as an object.
