#62 - Worklog missing issue data when the author field is malformed

eugie512 commented on Sep 14, 2019

JIRA assistant is most likely not at fault here, but there are certain issue API calls that only return the name sub-field for both updateAuthor and author. This manifests as the issues not being pulled in to the worklog view. I'm assuming that JIRA assistant is expecting the user key.

As mentioned, I'm not sure if this is a breaking change with JIRA's API, but it'd be great if we could implement some fallback for this case.

For clarification, JIRA assistant is expecting "updateAuthor": {"name": "user12345", "key": "user12345"} But what the issue call is returning in some cases: "updateAuthor": {"name": "user12345"}

@eugie512 , Which page of the tool are you facing this issue? also if you see any console error then it would be great to attach it. But if you attach a screenshot please ensure that you don't expose any sensitive information in the screenshot.

This would let the users to integrate with Cloud instance of Jira without prompting for permission at the time of integration. Hence for Chrome users, once the extension gets updated, it would get disabled due to change in permission. You can enable it again from Extensions page.
