Confiform create jira epic if not exists and then add story, if epic exists then only add story

[SP]

Hi,

I have a confiform to create jira issue, When creating a story (issue) in a project, confiform would need to search the epic in the project, if epic not exists then create and add story, if epic exists then only add story.

Is this possible through confiform?

Thanks,

You need to tell ConfiForms in advance what epic to use, if you want to put the issue into epic. This is how Jira API works and ConfiForms relies on that

Is that possible to pull Epics from JIRA project into Confiform dropdown field?

Yes, similar approach what we show on https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Building+a+dropdown+field+in+ConfiForms+backed+by+webservice+call+to+Jira+Rest+API+-+createmeta

But just using the search API instead

/rest/api/2/search?jql=

with field mapping to be something like

Thank you Alex,

I tried the above link you shared only the dropdown/multitext field data able to pull form confiform field, but not text field.
EPIC is the text field in the jira project, how can i pull all epics from the project?

i'm able to pull the epic details using below query.

/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project=test%20AND%20issuetype=Epic&maxResults=-1

What would be the maxresults limit?
Is that possible to append the another custom field to the dropdown.
Example:

Customfield_1 and customfield_2 data in the dropdown.

Hi

Please refer to Jira REST API documentation https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.3.1/#api/2/search-search

jql expression must be "url encoded" when configured in ConfiForms
