Create issue error - Specify the Priority (name) in the string format

General Questions
1

Hi

did someone encounter this problem ? Apparently this is some new error:
Could not create an work item with type `Service Ticket` on project `XXX`: Unable to create request because of these errors : Field with id ‘priority’ named ‘Priority’ has these errors : Specify the Priority (name) in the string format.

What i have tried, and in the past it worked:

def priorityMapping = [

    // remote side priority <-> local side priority             

      "Critical" : "Critical",

      "Major" : "Major",

      "Minor" : "Minor",

      "Trivial" : "Trivial"

\]

def priorityName = priorityMapping[replica.priority?.name] ?: “Minor” // set default priority in case the proper urgency could not be found

issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(priorityName)

OR:
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(replica.priority?.name) ?: nodeHelper.getPriority(“Minor”)

Thank you in advance !

Hi @Bogdan

Jillani here and thank you for opening a community post.

May I know what instances you are using (for example Jira, Azure etc)

Hi
sorry for the missing infos :slight_smile:

We use Exalate Scripts with jira Cloud to cloud.

Thank you & BR

Thank you for the update.

The error suggests that the receiving system expects the Priority field to be set using a string value (the name of the priority), not an object or ID.

The nodeHelper.getPriority() function returns a Priority object, which works for some Jira configurations, but some systems (especially Jira Service Management or Azure DevOps) require the priority to be set as a string (the name of the priority).

Try setting the priority as a string directly:

   def priorityMapping = [
    "Critical" : "Critical",
    "Major" : "Major",
    "Minor" : "Minor",
    "Trivial" : "Trivial"
]
def priorityName = priorityMapping[replica.priority?.name] ?: "Minor"
issue.priority = priorityName
  • Use the string name of the priority, not the Priority object.
  • Double-check the field name and how your destination system expects the value (sometimes it’s issue.priority, sometimes a custom field).

Please check and let me know the outcome.

Hi

Funny enough, it requires a string, and then it complains about it:

Hi again

I did use this time
def priorityMapping = [
“Critical” : “Critical”,
“Major” : “Major”,
“Minor” : “Minor”,
“Trivial” : “Trivial”
]
def priorityName = priorityMapping[replica.priority?.name] ?: “Minor”
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(priorityName)

Lets see.

Hi @Bogdan

Appreciate the update. In light of your last comment, may I know if the error again appeared or not?
