Better checking of service handler parameters

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      JIRA's services take a handler.params string, which is a comma-separated list of parameters, eg:

      project=JRA, issuetype=1, catchemail=www.atlassian.com

      It is easy to get this wrong and leave out a comma:

      project=JRA, issuetype=1 catchemail=www.atlassian.com

      In this case, the issue type for issues created via email will be "1 catchemail=www.atlassian.com", which breaks many things (the status icon, the edit page, and notification emails for a start).

      JIRA's code for parsing handler.params should either treat space as a delimiter, or have some error checking for cases like this.
