create_issue
Create a Jira issue—epic, task, story, or sub-task—with custom fields, parent links, and assignee. Returns key and URL for reuse.
Instructions
Create a Jira issue — epic, task, story or sub-task.
CALL THIS TOOL STRICTLY ON THE USER'S EXPLICIT REQUEST. It writes a real issue into the project under the token owner's name and this server cannot delete it afterwards. Never create issues on your own initiative (not to "track" work you are doing, not as an inferred step of another request). When several issues are described at once, confirm the list with the user before creating them.
Args:
project_key: Target project key, e.g. PROJ.
summary: Single-line title of the issue.
issue_type: Type name as it appears in Jira — Task (default),
Epic, Story, Bug, Sub-task… Call
get_issue_types when unsure; names are instance-specific and
may be localised.
description: Body text (plain text / Jira wiki markup).
parent: Key of the parent issue. For a sub-task this is its parent
task (required). For any other type this is the epic it
belongs to — it is written to the Epic Link field.
epic_name: Short board label for an epic. Epics only; defaults to
summary when omitted.
assignee: Username (Server/DC login) to assign the issue to.
priority: Priority name, e.g. Major.
labels: Labels to set.
components: Component names to set.
due_date: Due date, YYYY-MM-DD.
extra_fields: Raw field overrides merged in last, for anything this
signature does not cover — e.g. story points or a required
custom field: {"customfield_10004": 3}.
Returns the created issue: key, id, url and the resolved
type/parent, so the key can be reused directly (e.g. as parent for
the epic's children).
