unable to add label JIRA REST API when creating issue-SOLVED

[Deleted user]

Trying to create issue with label, issue is created but label field is empty

in JSON file i have

"labels": [ "MANAGED_SERVICES" ],

headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
data = {"fields":{"project":{"key":"CP"},"summary":"OC SPLA usage report for {current_month} {currentYear}".format(**locals()),"description":"Review OC SPLA usage report","issuetype":{"name":"Managed Service"},"customfield_10107":{"id":"10505"},"customfield_10006":"CP-3289"},"creator":{"displayname":"some user"},"labels": ["MANAGED_SERVICES"]}

finally found answer:

had to reorder fields

headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
data = {"fields":{"labels":["MANAGED_SERVICES"],"reporter":{"name":"user"},"assignee":{"name":"emergencyadmin"},"project":{"key":"CP"},"summary":"OC SPLA usage report for {previous_month} {currentYear},"description":"some descr","issuetype":{"name":"Managed Service"},"customfield_10107":{"id":"10505"},"customfield_10006":"CP-3289"}}}

Could you verify that you've got "labels" on the screens for project CP and issue type "Managed Service"?

Hi @[deleted], Can you include the 'creator' and 'labels' attributes with in the project scope in the JSON file. Like below.

{"fields":{"project":{"key":"CP"},"summary":"OC SPLA usage report for {current_month} {currentYear}".format(**locals()),"description":"Review OC SPLA usage report","issuetype":{"name":"Managed Service"},"customfield_10107":{"id":"10505"},"customfield_10006":"CP-3289","creator":{"displayname":"some user"},"labels": ["MANAGED_SERVICES"]}}

"labels": [ "MANAGED_SERVICES" ], "lastViewed": "2018-06-07T10:09:11.206+0000",

Hi Dragan,

is it your exactly sent json?
{"fields":{"project":{"key":"CP"},"summary":"OC SPLA usage report for {current_month} {currentYear}".format(**locals()),"description":"Review OC SPLA usage report","issuetype":{"name":"Managed Service"},"customfield_10107":{"id":"10505"},"customfield_10006":"CP-3289"},"creator":{"displayname":"some user"},"labels": ["MANAGED_SERVICES"]}

It has something strange like .format(**locals()).

Hi Aleksandr,

current_month = datetime.now().strftime('%B')
currentYear = datetime.now().year

subject contains current month and year, that's why i put .format(**locals()), it's python interpolation syntax
