Super simple Google Docs integration with Jira Issues/Tickets

jiraRefreshTickets.js

// URL for Jira's REST API for issues
var getIssueURL = "https://[Your Jira host]/rest/api/2/issue/";

// Personally I prefer the script to handle request failures, hence muteHTTPExceptions = true
var fetchArgs = {
  contentType: "application/json",
  headers: {"Authorization":"Basic [Your BASE64 Encoded user:pass]"},
  muteHttpExceptions : true
};

/** 
 * Add a nice menu option for the users.
 */
function onOpen() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var entries = [{
    name : "Refresh Ticket Data",
    functionName : "refreshTickets"
  }];
  sheet.addMenu("Jira", entries);
};

/**
 * Make a request to jira for all listed tickets, and update the spreadsheet 
 */
function refreshTickets(){
  // Pull the bits and pieces you need from the spreadsheet
  var sheet = getTicketSheet();
  var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
  var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
  var values = rows.getValues();

  // Show the user a friendly message
  Browser.msgBox("Jira Tickets","Updating " + numRows + " tickets",Browser.Buttons.OK);

  for (var i = 1; i < numRows; i++) {
    var row = values[i];
    var ri = i + 1; // Set the cell row index
    var httpResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(getIssueURL + row[0], fetchArgs);

    if (httpResponse) {
      switch(httpResponse.getResponseCode()){
        case 200:          
          var data = JSON.parse(httpResponse.getContentText());

          // Check the data is valid and the Jira fields exist
          if(data && data.fields) {

          var data = JSON.parse(httpResponse.getContentText());
          rows.getCell(ri, 5).setValue("Error: " + data.errorMessages.join(","));
          break;

I started with your little snippet, and then i extended it to actual GAS Add-on.
Maybe peoples out there start contributing to improve the add-on even more.

Check it out, feedback welcome: https://github.com/ljay79/jira-tools/

Still same error.
Any help appreciated.
