How to pass variable in the search_issues function of jira object within python

[Tushar Mishra]

Working code in python script which is working correctly

for i in jira.search_issues('filter=46940', startAt=0, maxResults=1000):

But changed code is,

reportId = "46940"

for i in jira.search_issues('filter=reportId', startAt=0, maxResults=1000):

Error I get: " response text = {"errorMessages":["The value 'reportId' does not exist for the field 'filter'."],"errors":{}}"

Reason to make this change - I plan to use same code for multiple projects and query. Therefore, I am working on making this query generic and avoid any hard coding.

Can anybody help please?

Hello,

That specific error indicates that your REST call has not created a session yet.  This is covered in more detail int the KB article:

•  JIRA API with CURL throws error {"errorMessages":["The value 'XXX' does not exist for the field 'project'."],"errors":{}} 

Please check this out and I hope this helps,

Earl
