# Create a Jira issue

Automatically create a Jira issue on atlassian.net. Create an issue in a Jira Cloud project with a summary, and optionally a plain-text description (one paragraph per line), an issue type and labels. The issue type is matched by its name or id among the types the project offers; an unknown type is refused with the list of valid ones. The new issue is read back from Jira and returned with its key and link.
