“issuetype”:”The issue type selected is invalid.”

[Rahim T_S]

’m trying to create an issue with jira-client - npm

for that I created a code snippet based on what a bare minimum body should be which I got from https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-post

const issue = {
	fields: {
		summary: "Test for Jira utility",
		issuetype: {
			id: issueType
		},
		project: {
			id: projectId
		},
		reporter: {
			id:reporterId
		},
	}
  }

jira
  .addNewIssue(issue)
  .then(result => {
	console.log(result)
  })
  .catch(err => {
	console.log(err)
  })

where the issuetype is 10001 that is story

but while executing I’m getting

Error: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"issuetype":"The issue type selected is invalid."}}
    at JiraApi.doRequest ((Redacted for obv reasons)\jira-util\node_modules\jira-client\lib\jira.js:347:13)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

Why is this the case ?

Thank you in advance

Putting the issueType as 1 created an issue of type bug

Hi @Sebastian Krzewiński 

I found the issue types from here Issue Id types 

In my project I can see the main issues being Tasks and bugs. I tried both but getting

Error: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"issuetype":"valid issue type is required"}}

please could you share your call code?

[Rahim T_S]

Hi sure,

var jira = new JiraApi({

  protocol: "https",

  host: (redacted),

  bearer: (redacted),

});

jira

  .getProject(projectId)

  .then((project) => {

    console.log(`Project: ${project.name}`);

  })

  .catch((err) => {

    console.log(err);

  });

jira

  .getCurrentUser()

  .then(user => {

    console.log(`UserId: ${user.key}, \n User: ${user.name}`)

  })

  .catch((err) => {

    console.log(err)

  })




This gives me results,

[Rahim T_S]

  const issue = {

    fields: {

        project: {

            id: projectId

        },

        summary: "Test for Jira utility",

        issuetype: {

            id: issueType

        },

        reporter: {

            id:reporterId

        }

    }

  }




jira

  .addNewIssue(issue)

  .then(result => {

    console.log(result)

  })

  .catch(err => {

    console.log(err)

  })

@Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_  This is the code block for issue creation I added

I use jira-client

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

please put the result of your code so that I can see the effective call

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ @Sebastian Krzewiński 

I gave the issueId as just 1 and it worked. I don't know why but it did. But thank you for investing your time into it. Really appreciated

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

Hi @Rahim T_S ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Please verify that you are adding the correct parameters for :

• issue type id
• project id
• reporter username

Fabio

[Rahim T_S]

Hi Fabio,

The project Id and the reporter Id are valid, I verified that by using them to getCurrentUser and getProject APIs and they give valid expected results

I got the issue types from here
Issue Id types 

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

Hey @Rahim T_S ,

are you sure that issue type is in your Issue Type Scheme for your project?

Fabio

[Rahim T_S]

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ 

Yes it's valid. I checked now.

 the main ones are Tasks and Bugs which are 10002 and 10004 respectively.

I tried both right now and I'm getting

Error: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"issuetype":"valid issue type is required"}}

[Sebastian Krzewiński]

Hi @Rahim T_S  Please check what issue type id you selecting. It sounds like you are trying to choose issue type which is not available in project.

Regards,

Seba
