FAQ

Questions about Create Issue.

What does the Create Issue action do in Bitbucket?
Files a new issue in a Bitbucket repository with title, content, kind (bug/enhancement/task), priority, assignee. For "Sentry error → file a Bitbucket issue" or "support ticket marked as bug → file repo issue" workflows.
What inputs does Create Issue require?
Required: Workspace, Repository Slug, Title. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Bitbucket returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Create Issue support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Issue inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Bitbucket's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
