query? JIRA Cloud - issue with passing accountID on 'Create Issue' and 'Add Watcher' methods.

[Martyn Houghton]

Related to our linked post below, we are having issues with the syntax of the Reporter  and Watcher ID now that we need to pass the accountID value rather than the clear text username.

I have a valid accountID value but passing in as a literal does not work, so suspect I need to adjust the format/syntax of what we are passing to get it to be interrupted correctly via the API.

Has anyone else hit this issue?

Do we currently prefix the value type in this field as "name": parameter?

Cheers

Martyn

Hi @Martyn Houghton,

I can see what is required here, will change those now as workflows using these integrations will be broken. Will let you know once done.

Cheers,

Hi @Martyn Houghton,

That's done. You now have a new operation to get the account ID for a given user, and I've updated the Add Watcher, Create Issue and Update Issue to support Account IDs.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks you very much for the fast reaction to this change. I will give this a test ASAP.

Just to confirm we are now able to Create Issues again and pass the Reporter as the new accountID value.

Cheers
