Hi @IslamZiane,

It’s hard to know what’s going on here as it’s only a short bit of code. However, is this a Confluence app calling a Jira REST API? Do you have the WRITE scope in your Connect app?

Are there any examples, e.g. GET request where it does work?

hello @jrichards,

1- it’s not a conluence app
2- i don’t have WRITE scope in my connect app
3- yes, all my GETs works fine

Hi @IslamZiane,

If you don’t have WRITE scope, then you can’t make a POST request that makes an update. You will have to add it to allow updates to Jira.
