Update a Jira issue

Automatically update a Jira issue on atlassian.net. Change an existing Jira Cloud issue by key: its summary, its plain-text description (replaced as a whole), its labels (replaced as a whole) and its status. The status moves through the issue's workflow, by the target status name or id; a status the workflow does not allow from where the issue is now is refused with the ones it allows. Fields left out are not touched. The issue is read back from Jira afterwards and returned.

Input

key required

The issue key: the project key, a dash and the number, as list_issues or create_issue return it.

site required

The Jira Cloud site, e.g. acme.atlassian.net (or just acme).

labels optional

The full new set of labels; an empty list removes them all.

status optional

The status to move the issue to, by its name as the site shows it or its id.

List Jira issues

List the issues on a Jira Cloud site, for one project or any JQL query, newest first by default: key, summary, description, status, type, priority, assignee, reporter, labels and dates. Jira refuses a query with no restriction, so pass a project key, a JQL query, or both. Pages through results with nextPageToken; an empty list means nothing matched.

Create a Jira issue

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.
