Creating Jira Epic from SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I've just got started using MS Flow and I'm running into an issue when trying to create an Epic in Jira using Flow.

 

Right now it's really basic, when a SharePoint list item is modified and a status field has a specific status it should create a new Epic in Jira.  I'd like to use dynamic data based on the SharePoint list data, but for right now I'm just using basic text "Epic Test" in a specific project and I'm getting the following error.

 

{"statusCode":"400","statusReadon":"Bad Request","error":"There was an error processing your request."}

 

If I change the Flow to create a Jira Story or Task and it works just fine, it only seems to happen when I try to make an epic.  I've tried it with my credentials as well as a service account that I've created and get the same error.

    Hi Tadams,

     

    Thanks for feedback.


    I can reproduce this issue on my side.


    To test this issue, I created a flow which is trigger by “SharePoint – When an item is created”. The following action is “JIRA – Create a new issue”.


    When Issue type id “Epic” is selected, I would get the same error message that you mentioned. However, when other type of “Story” or “Bug” is selected, it will run succeed.

    I will help confirm this issue on my side and back to you later.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I have some updates for you. Epic work item types are currently not supported yet. We’re working with the JIRA team to add support as that work item type is a custom type. We’re also tracking an update to the dropdown so that the type is not shown. Please submit a request at Flow ideas Forum so other customers can vote as well:
