# Create Jira ITSM Request

In this article, I would be showing you how to create a Service Management customer request with custom-fields.

## Step 1: Set up the project

1. Create a new directory for your project.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.
3. Initialize a new Go module using the following command:

```bash
go mod init <module-name>
```

## Step 2: Install the "go-atlassian" library

In the terminal, run the following command to install the "go-atlassian" library:

```bash
go get -v github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian
```

## Step 3: Import the necessary packages

1. Create a new Go file (e.g., `main.go`) in your project directory.
2. Open the file and import the required packages:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/jira/sm"
	"github.com/ctreminiom/go-atlassian/pkg/infra/models"
)
```

{% endcode %}

## Step 4: Authenticate with Jira

In the `main` function, create a new Jira client and authenticate using your Jira URL, username, and API token:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```go
func main() {

	jiraHost := "https://<_jira_instance_>.atlassian.net"
	mailAddress := "<your_mail>"
	apiToken := "<your_api_token>"

	client, err := sm.New(nil, jiraHost)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	client.Auth.SetBasicAuth(mailAddress, apiToken)
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Step 5: Create an ITSM customer request with custom fields

Define the fields you want to set:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```go
payload := &models.CreateCustomerRequestPayloadScheme{
	Channel:             "",
	Form:                nil,
	IsAdfRequest:        false,
	RaiseOnBehalfOf:     "",
	RequestFieldValues:  nil,
	RequestParticipants: nil,
	RequestTypeID:       "10",
	ServiceDeskID:       "1",
}

if err := payload.AddCustomField("summary", "Summary Sample"); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

if err := payload.DateCustomField("duedate", time.Now()); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

if err := payload.Components([]string{"Intranet"}); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

if err := payload.AddCustomField("labels", []string{"label-00", "label-01"}); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
A list of the fields required by a customer request type can be obtained using the `sm.RequestType.Fields` method.
{% endhint %}

* Create a new issue using the `Create` method and set the custom fields:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```go

ticket, response, err := atlassian.Request.Create(context.Background(), payload, form)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Step 6: Run the program

1. Save the `main.go` file.
2. In the terminal, navigate to your project directory.
3. Execute the following command to run the program:

```bash
go run main.go
```

This will create a new ITSM customer request in Jira with the specified custom field values.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.go-atlassian.io/cookbooks/create-jira-itsm-request.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
