Jiraps New-jiraissue -subtask

[Diego Toniolo]

Sorry for the question,but i'm losing myself into the web; i'm trying to create script to create subtask on existing story with

New-JiraIssue -IssueType "sub-task" -Parent "ITRS-9786" -Project "ITRS" -Summary "test" -Verbose -Credential $cred

but it fails with 

No metadata found for project ITRS and issueType sub-task

What is wrong?

Regards

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What script language or library are you using there?

How are you getting the API token and using it to log in?  I ask because a "no metadata found" error is either

• what it immediately suggests (you don't have a project called ITRS) 
• your credentials are not letting you in as a user that can see and create issues in ITRS
• your credentials are not letting you in at all

Hi Nic, thank you for your reply

I'm using ps 5.1 and the module is the last one available installing following official guide

The Project "ITRS" was choose using the attribute Key given from comand

Get-Jiraproject -Credential $cred

Via web interface I can create sub-task on Story "ITRS-9786"

That doesn't tell us what the library is, but the logs seem to say you got in ok, ran a search and found nothing.  Your user can't see the project basically.  The code is calling a "createmeta" function which essentially says "Tell me what data you need to create an issue in this project" and the response is "you can't see that"

[Diego Toniolo]

Sorry, but i don't understand what you mean with library?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

What is providing the New-JiraIssue command you are running here?  It uses a library to access Jira somehow
