Change Assignee with fetchYouTrack Host API

Hello everyone,


I am working on converting a curl command that sends a POST request to the YouTrack API into a JavaScript function that uses the YouTrack Host API's fetchYouTrack method. Here is the original curl request:

curl -X POST \
'https://example.youtrack.cloud/api/issues/SP-8?fields=customFields(id,name,value(avatarUrl,buildLink,color(id),fullName,id,isResolved,localizedName,login,minutes,name,presentation,text))' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer perm:am9obi5kb2U=.UG9zdG1hbiBKb2huIERvZQ==.jJe0eYhhkV271j1lCpfknNYOEakNk7' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "customFields": [
    {"name": "Assignee", "$type": "SingleUserIssueCustomField", "value": {"login": "jane.doe"}},
    {"name": "Priority", "$type": "SingleEnumIssueCustomField", "value": {"name": "Major"}},
    {"name": "Fix versions", "$type": "MultiVersionIssueCustomField", "value": [{"name": "2019.1"}]},
    {"name": "Requester email", "$type": "SimpleIssueCustomField", "value": "test@example.com"}
  ]
}'

How can I implement this command using the fetchYouTrack method?

I am complete new in creating a App in YouTrack

Thank you in Advance

Hi Sentuerkemircan,

The fetchYouTrack equivalent will look like this:

const queryParams = {method: 'POST', body: {customFields: [{name: "Assignee", $type: "SingleUserIssueCustomField", value: {login: "jane.doe"}}]}}; // Add the rest of the custom fields in a similar manner
const appResponse = await host.fetchYouTrack('issues/SP-8?fields=customFields(id,name,value(avatarUrl,buildLink,color(id),fullName,id,isResolved,localizedName,login,minutes,name,presentation,text))', queryParams);

The documentation describes the Host API and apps overall in more detail, so you can get started by following App Quick Start Guide and Host API.

Hi Julia Bernikova,

i did create a App and this is the code:
 

       const requestBody = {
           customFields: [
               {
                   name: "Assignee",
                   $type: "SingleUserIssueCustomField",
                   value: newAssignee ? { id: newAssignee.id } : null
               }
           ]
       };


host.fetchYouTrack(
               `issues/${issue.id}`,
               {
                   method: "POST",
                   headers: { "Accept": "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json" },
                   body: JSON.stringify(requestBody),
               }

But i get the error:

data: 
message: "Request failed."
servlet:"gap-rest-servlet"
status:
"500"
url:"/api/issues/3-40"

when i try to change the Assignee from a Issue

Hi Sentuerkemircan,

It seems that the JSON.stringify call is unnecessary - you should be able to pass requestBody as is.

If the issue persists after removing it, please share the exact body passed to the request.

Hi Julia Bernikova,

that was the error. Removing JSON.stringify solved the problem, but why can't I use JSON.stringify?

Sentuerkemircan,

According to MDN and the YouTrack documentation, request parameters should be a JavaScript object (particularly RequestInit) rather than JSON.
