function New-JiraIssue { <# .Synopsis Creates an issue in JIRA .DESCRIPTION This function creates a new issue in JIRA. Creating an issue requires a lot of data, and the exact data may be different from one instance of JIRA to the next. To identify what data is required for a given issue type and project, use the Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata function provided in this module. Some JIRA instances may require additional custom fields specific to that instance of JIRA. In addition to the parameterized fields provided in this function, the Fields parameter accepts a hashtable of field names / IDs and values. This allows users to provide custom field data when creating an issue. .EXAMPLE Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata -Project TEST -IssueType Bug | ? {$_.Required -eq $true} New-JiraIssue -Project TEST -IssueType Bug -Priority 1 -Summary 'Test issue from PowerShell' -Description 'This is a test issue created from the JiraPS module in PowerShell.' -Fields {'Custom Field Name 1'='foo';'customfield_10001'='bar';} This example uses Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata to identify fields required to create an issue in JIRA. It then creates an issue with the Fields parameter providing a field name and a field ID. .INPUTS This function does not accept pipeline input. .OUTPUTS [JiraPS.Issue] The issue created in JIRA. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param( # Project in which to create the issue.
