[Answer]-Use form information in external POST request

It sounds like you’re getting POST and GET mixed. POST data would not be included in the URL itself, but rather in the request payload itself.

So, your URL would be http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa

The payload would be separately put in the body of the HTTP request.

If you need to use a GET method, the URL itself would be the same as above, but the URL that eventually gets hit would be http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?new_name=WHATEVERVALUE.

If you need additional key-value pairs to get passed, just add them as hidden fields and pass them that way.

Your code, edited:

<form target="_blank" action='http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa' method='post'> <!-- ARE YOU SURE IT'S A POST REQUEST AND NOT A GET? -->
    <label for="new_name">New name: </label>
    <input id="new_name" type="text" name="new_name" value="{{item.name}}">
    <input type="hidden" value="10517" name="pid">
    <input type="hidden" value="3" name="issuetype">
    <input type="hidden" value="5" name="priority">
    <input type="hidden" value="Change application name to {{new_name}}" name="summary">
    <input type="hidden" value="{{request.user}}" name="reporter">
    <input type="hidden" value="xxx" name="assignee">
    <input type="submit" value="Create JIRA ticket">

  </form>

Makes sense?
