Create a Web Request Template

Click Add Template in the "Web Request Templates" section of the "Manage Tempates" dialog. The "Add Template" dialog for a web request looks like the following:

You have to enter the following information:

  • Name: Name of the template.
  • Method: Select the HTTP request method:
    • GET
    • POST
    • PUT
    • PATCH
    • DELETE
  • Path: The path for the request (e.g., /rest/api/space). This will be combined with the URL of the target server. Issue variables will be replaced.
  • Headers: The headers for the request. Use a new line for each header. Key and value should be separated by a colon. Issue variables will be replaced.
  • Body (only available for method POST, PUT and PATCH): The body of the web request. Issue variables will be replaced. 
  • Content-Type (only available for method POST, PUT and PATCH): Select the content type:
    • application/json
    • application/xml
    • application/xhtml+xml
    • application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    • text/plain
    • text/html
    • text/xml

If you click the question mark icon in the top right corner of the template editor dialog, a help page is displayed that lists the replacement syntax for your Jira fields.

When done, click Save.
