# Post or Update an issue — Redmine

Botize method — `redmine.post_or_update_issue` (action).

Create a new Redmine issue or update an existing one with the same description.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `description` *(string)* — Description
- `project_id` *(string)* — Projects
- `status_id` *(string)* — Status
- `subject` *(string)* — Subject

*(Fields derived from the configuration form.)*

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{issue_id}}` *(int)* — Issue Id
