Configuration
2 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
issue_key Issue key or numeric id, e.g. PROJ-123. Supports {{ }}. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
delete_subtasks Delete the issue's subtasks too. Jira refuses the delete outright when the issue has subtasks and this is off. | boolean | No | false | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"delete_subtasks": false
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
ok True when Jira accepted the call. | boolean | — |
key The issue key the call acted on. | string | PROJ-123 |
{
"key": "PROJ-123",
"ok": false
}Notes
- A deleted issue cannot be restored through the API.
See Delete Issue run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Jira connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
