Hello, I’m a beginner.
english is weak, so please understand.
I ran the n8n using a docker, and the version uses 0.227.1.
I want to create a jira issue using n8n recently. The jira I use is not the cloud version.
If i look up the assignee section as “From list” during the test, only a few users will be printed, and search for my name, there will be no results.
If I search by “By ID”, I don’t think I recognize my id.
For example, my name is Joe Biden.
If i type {{“joe.biden”}} in “By ID”, the response is as follows.
400 - {“errorMessages”:[],“errors”:{“assignee”:“user ‘joe’ does not exist”}}
Is there a way to query me on “From list” or to send my name including “dot” on “By ID” as a string?
Information on your n8n setup
**n8n version: 0.227.1
**Database (default: SQLite): idk, using docker-compose
The ID for a jira assignee isn’t their username it is normally some numbers followed by a GUID so something like 123456:7710de47-1472-4420-9b7e-ce422bb94d97. Does the assignee list not work at all? I have just given it a quick look with my test jira cloud account and it appears to find me as expected.
Looking at the API documentation it should be the same for self hosted Jira as well. If you get an issue under the assignee or creator you should see a userId which is the value to use.
It would be nice to see why it fails when fetching the list though, does the url have a trailing slash in the credential?
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I think it’s because we’re linked to the AD server.
I can’t seem to find the same value as hash no matter how much I look for it.
I found this instead.
When querying with “From list”, a few users are queried.
Sorry, I covered up sensitive information.
And after i select someone, switch to “By ID” and that person’s AD account name will be printed out.
If i send it like this, it works well.
However, the problem is that if the user ID contains a ". (e.g., “areum.wei”)
This seems to be going to “areum.”
That’s why I felt I needed a way to request a string containing “.”
Ahh ok that is interesting, I wonder if we are changing something there or if it is something the API doesn’t like. I will free up some time to take a look, For now you could try using the http request node to see if that works around it.
Thank you always for your quick reply.
I think you understand my situation.
I think I can create Jira issue using http request urgently, and assign assginee to a specific person (user name containing “.”).
