How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Create Issue" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the project key, summary, description, issue type ID, assignee ID, and attachments (if any).
- Optionally, configure the delay.
- Execute the workflow to create a new issue in Jira based on the provided parameters.
Example: Consider an example where the "Create Issue" activity is used to create a new task in a project with the project key "PROJ-123," having the summary "Task for Review" and description "This task is created for review purposes." The issue type is set to "Task," and the assignee is "john.doe." An attachment "task_document.txt" is also added to the issue:
Create Issue:
Delay: 2
Project Key: "PROJ-123"
Summary: "Task for Review"
Description: "This task is created for review purposes."
Issue Type ID: "Task"
Assignee ID: "john.doe"
Attachments: ["C:\Attachments\task_document.txt"]
Result: newIssueData
In this example, the activity waits for 2 seconds before executing, creates a new task in the project "PROJ-123" with the specified details, assigns it to "john.doe," attaches the "task_document.txt" file, and stores the response data in the dynamic variable "newIssueData" for further handling in the workflow.
