08/02/2023, 2:51 PMLooking for a jump start / example code on how to create a new task (bug) in Jira using their API via Lucee / CFML.
I am able to authenticate and get a list of projects. the /rest/2/api/issue/createmeta/(projectid)/issuetypes doesn't work for me, and I'm not sure what parameter(s) to load up (presumably with JSON) and send via cfhttpparam (e.g. is it type="body" name="fields" ??)
Just need a little kicker to get me rolling. Appreciate any help on this!

08/03/2023, 7:08 PMHey, thanks for asking! While searching everywhere for the answers, I found that @alholden had pinged someone about a Jira question back in 2019, so I reached out to him on a DM and he graciously gave me a solid chunk of time where we bounced ideas around a bit. He didn't have direct knowledge of this, but he has worked with REST API's and clued me in where I was floundering.
I now have a pretty solid grasp of using Jira's REST API with Lucee. So far I have pulled a list of projects, pulled single tickets, searched for tickets, added sub-tasks, and now I'm trying to update a custom field that we're going to use as a counter.
My goal for this is to auto-create Jira Bug tickets from Errors, but I don't want to create bug tickets for the same error over and over, so we decided we'll likely log some of the pertinent info in a table and we'll just increment a counter if we find we've already created a bug ticket for that particular error.
Miles to go, yet, but I've come a long way since yesterday!

08/03/2023, 7:16 PMFor example, without compromising our security too much, this will search jira tickets for specific things using a basic authentication key.
<cfset tSearchLabels = 'BugTracker' />
<cfset tSearchPhrase = 'Is Testing' />
<cfset tSearchDateMin = '2023/07/31' />
<!--- customfield_11452 is the Bug Detail counter field. --->
<cfset obodyValue = '{
"jql":"project=#tProjectKey# AND created > \"#tSearchDateMin#\" AND issuetype=#tIssueType# AND labels=#tSearchLabels# AND summary ~ \"#tSearchPhrase#\" AND resolution=Unresolved",
"fields":["summary","customfield_11452"],
"startAt": 0,
"maxResults": 1
}' />
<cfhttp url="https://cfcorg.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search" method="POST">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic #t64encode#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json">
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#obodyValue#">
</cfhttp>
<cfset tJSON=DeserializeJSON(cfhttp.filecontent)>
