I want to print only specific field values of a specific issue

Jira Development Jira Server

Hello @netdynamics,

HASH is being returned by my $issue = $jira -> GET("/issue/SMPKB-16?fields=summary,description"); in which I think is workable for us. Dumping $issue via Dumper($issue) and printing it results in

$VAR1 = {
          'key' => 'TEST-7',
          'self' => 'http://localhost:2990/jira/rest/api/latest/issue/10100',
          'id' => '10100',
          'expand' => 'renderedFields,names,schema,operations,editmeta,changelog,versionedRepresentations',
          'fields' => {
                        'summary' => 'This is a test issue',
                        'description' => 'This is a test description for Perl test'
                      }
        };

In order to get the summary and description, here’s what I did:

my $issue = $jira -> GET("/issue/TEST-7?fields=summary,description");
my $fields = $issue->{fields};
print "summary = $fields->{summary}\n";
print "description = $fields->{description}\n";

which resulted in

Disclaimer:

  1. I only tried perl an hour or so ago to help you with this question, there might be a better way to optimize the code.
  2. JIRA::REST module is new to me too as it is not an Atlassian supported module

I think this should work with your use case.

Cheers,
Ian
