# Create Jira Task

Creates a task ticket in the LPD Jira project automatically via REST API. Useful when a user wants to quickly generate a Jira task from a commit hash or description, inferring components and formatting details.

**Install:** `git clone https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal`

## README

# Create a Jira Task in LPD

Create a task ticket in the LPD Jira project through the REST API.

## Input

When `${ARGUMENTS}` is a commit hash, inspect the commit with `git show` to understand the work and infer the task. When `${ARGUMENTS}` is a free-form description, use it directly.

## Gather Information

Request any missing details from the user:

- **Summary** — short title describing the task.
- **Description** — what needs to be done and why.

## Required Fields

The LPD project requires the following fields. Apply these defaults unless the user specifies otherwise:

- **Component**: Infer from the code area. Fetch the LPD project components and select the one whose name matches the relevant area or keyword.
- **Issue Type**: `Task` (ID: `10002`).

Note: Unlike bugs, tasks do not require the Affects Version or Cross Cutting Properties fields.

## Create the Ticket

Create the issue in the LPD project with the gathered summary, description, and required fields. Author the description in Atlassian Document Format (ADF) with the following sections, in order: Description, Acceptance Criteria (when applicable). Append a Reference section when a commit is referenced.

## Output

The ticket key and the browse URL: `https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/<KEY>`.
