Create an Issue and Read It Back
with Jira
Works with AI assistants
Create a Jira issue against validated project metadata and read it back.
- Read the target project and expand its issue types, confirming the project is visible to the caller before attempting a write.
- Retrieve the issue types available to the user so the supplied issue type name can be matched against a real type rather than guessed.
- Retrieve the priority vocabulary of the instance so the supplied priority name resolves to a configured priority.
- Create the issue in the resolved project. The description is sent as an Atlassian Document Format document, which REST API v3 requires for rich text fields.
- Read the created issue back by its key to confirm the stored summary, status, and issue type match what was submitted.
What you'll need to have ready
- projectKey: The key of the project to create the issue in (e.g. PROJ).
- summary: The one-line summary of the issue.
- descriptionText: The plain text body rendered into the Atlassian Document Format description.
- issueTypeName: The name of the issue type to create (e.g. Bug, Task, Story).
- priorityName: The name of the priority to set on the issue (e.g. High).
- labels: Labels to apply to the new issue.
