Breaking Change in Qlik Application Automation JIRA blocks (May 1st 2025)

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

The Qlik Application Automation JIRA blocks List issues, List issues by project and List new and updated issues incrementally, have been updated to the latest API URL.

The changes come into effect on the 1st of May 2025.

 

What has changed?

The following changes in the blocks:

Input Parameter changes 

List issues block:

• Current (Old) Version: Input parameter "Jql" is optional

• New Version: Input parameter "Jql" is a required parameter

List issues by project:

• Current (Old) Version: Input parameter "Project" is optional

• New Version: Input parameter "Project" is a required parameter

List new and updated issues incrementally:

No changes

Response changes

• Old Response: By default, all navigable fields are returned.
  
  If a list of specific fields should be returned, specify the names of the fields in the "Fields" input parameter.
  
  For an example of the raw response, see the attached .json (JIRA-old-response.json) file.
  
  
• New Response: By default, the resource returns IDs only.
  
  If a list of specific fields should be returned other than “id”, specify the names of the fields in the "Fields" input parameter.
  
  Example of the response:

  [
  {
  "id": "157638"
  },
  {
  "id": "156647"
  }
  ]  

  Example of the response if a user has specified the names of the field (such as "Summary") in the "Fields" input parameter:

  [
  {
  "expand": "",
  "fields": {
  "summary": "Main order flow broken"
  },
  "id": "10002",
  "key": "ED-1",
  "self": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/10002"
  }
  ]

How do I prepare for the change?

1. Update your automations to use the new updated blocks: 
   1. Select the old block
   2. Then click Upgrade to latest version
      
      
      
      Follow the same steps for all remaining blocks, such as List issues by project and List new and updated issues incrementally.
      
      

2. Since the response has been updated, the "Id" field will be returned by default if no fields are specified in the "Fields" input parameter.
   
   After upgrading any of the List issues, List issues by project, and List new and updated issues incrementally blocks, add the relevant fields to the input parameter in the block, which is referenced by other blocks.

   Additionally, modify the output references in other blocks if necessary. If this is not done, it will result in a null value for the input parameter, causing referenced blocks to fail with the error "Missing mandatory parameter" whenever the input parameter is required.
   
   Example error: 
   
   {
   "response": {
   "status": 400,
   "body": {
   "errors": [
   {
   "code": "HTTP-400",
   "title": "Invalid Request.",
   "detail": "Missing mandatory parameter \"Summary\"."
   }
   ]
   }
   },
   "external error": false
   }
