    Hi Arun,

    I am not sure whether using the --gui option gives you a result on the command line at all, as you'll get the visual feedback.

    Without the --gui option your command should result in something like:

    Modifying item ...

    Editing fields ...

    Submitting ...

    Updated item <# ITEM_ID# >

    usually the new Item'S ID is the result value of a CLI "im createIssue .... " command.

    Depending on the Integrity Version you are using, this result is either streamed out on STDIO or STDERR.

    So you might have to check both and parse the result.

      Hi Arun,

      you can use the --xmlapi flag and parse their the command output to extract the IssueID.

      --xmlapi also not giving any output when used with --gui.

      Hi Arun

      ok. maybe it work for you to first to create the Issue without --gui and then open it with 'im editissue --gui IssueID'?

      or you want the possibility to cancel the issue creation?

      Regards

      You could try the --displayIdOnly option. This has the effect you want of printing the ID of the newly created item. Using Korn you can do something like

      co2=$(im createissue --type="Change Order" <<fields>> --displayIdOnly 2>&1)

      print "Created Change Order issue $co2 and saved ID" >>deploy.log
