Invoke Create Issue dialog from my add-on

[piotr]

Hi there,

I need to invoke the native JIRA’s Create Issue form from my add-on. Can you advise on a recommended way to do it?

Thanks!
Piotr

openCreateIssueDialog(callback, fields)

Does that help?

Thank you Nick, yes it does!

For some reason when it comes to Atlassian Connect I lived in the world of REST APIs and not realized the js library funcitonality

Hi Nick,

We used the function you provided and yes it works, so thanks for advice. What is worrying me a bit is that we are getting a warning that the function is deprecated. The official documentation of the library does not mention this fact. Any comments on this?

> DEPRECATED API - AP.require() has been deprecated since ACJS 5.0 and will be removed in a future release. No alternative will be provided.

Also, is there a way to invoke similar dialog for SubTasks?

Hi guys,

additionally invoking jira.openCreateIssueDialog(...) keep throwing ReferenceError.

      AP.require('jira', jira =>
      {
        jira.openCreateIssueDialog(issues => {
          if(issues[0] != null)
            console.log(issues[0]['fields']['summary']);
          else
            console.log("Issue creation cancelled");
        })
      });

ReferenceError: openCreateIssueDialog is not defined
    at Object.AP.jira.openCreateIssueDialog.AP._hostModules.jira.openCreateIssueDialog (all-debug.js:3363)

  // .../atlassian-connect/all-debug.js
  var original_openCreateIssueDialog = AP._hostModules.jira.openCreateIssueDialog.bind({});
  AP.jira.openCreateIssueDialog = AP._hostModules.jira.openCreateIssueDialog = function (callback, fields) {
    original_openCreateIssueDialog(fields, callback);            //ok, showing dialog
    openCreateIssueDialog(fields, callback);                     //throw error
  };

Removing line “openCreateIssueDialog(fields, callback);” from all-debug.js prevent this error and dialog appears same way as with this line. Also callback works fine.

Am I doing something wrong with jira.openCreateIssueDialog(...)?
