Support of custom fields while creating issue about go-jira HOT 10 CLOSED

Maybe we should add this to the docs.

from go-jira.

And look at that,

customfields["customfield_11425"] = &jira.User{
	Name: "myuser",
}

from go-jira.

Can you check out #117 and see if that helps you?

from go-jira.

Agreed! Just swinging by this for the first time and custom fields are definitely the first stumbling block to adoption. Thanks :).

In terms of getting custom fields working at all, I think you're really close @ashakabra. Possibly you just need to treat the map as the group of custom fields (even if you're only using one) - notably, where you used "id" for your key, that's where I needed to put the customfield's #. Like so:

customfields["customfield_10631"] = "value you want to store!"
i := jira.Issue{
	Fields: &jira.IssueFields{
		Description: "Test Issue",
		Unknowns: customfields,
	},
}
issue, resp, err := c.TicketClient.Issue.Create(&i)```

Would work if customfield_10631 was the field you cared about.

My next question here is how to handle more esoteric types of custom fields, like User Pickers. E.g. "customfield_11425":"data was not an object" when trying to provide a string to a User Picker. Not sure how to package that up to go-jira just yet, but will take a look.

I'm going to close this. If there are additional questions we can reopen.

from go-jira.

How would it be possible to achieve the same via the CLI?
something like
jira create --project ANTANI --issuetype Strappanai -o summary="La morte" -o description="Ci sono cose molto belle." -o customfield_12117="scrafunzio"
is not working.
Thanks,

from go-jira.

Yes, I really want a way to make custom fields from the cli!

from go-jira.

The best I can do today is call jira create ... and then paste this into the YAML edit:

fields:
  project: SAMPLE
  ...
  assignee:
    emailAddress: [email protected]
  customfield_999:
    id: "99999"

I find that doing that, helpful errors appear when you get the id wrong (this is a struct field with name / id).
