What follows is a sample Python file for your reference. 

#The script file creates a JIRA ticket when a request is created with Request Type as 'Bug' and Impact as 'High'. The request ID, subject, description, due by time and priority of the request is passed to the JIRA for the ticket creation. Upon successful creation of the JIRA ticket, the JIRA ticket ID and ticket URL is fetched from the response to be added as a note in the ServiceDesk Plus request. The custom fields 'JIRA_ISSUE_ID' and 'JIRA_ISSUE_URL' are also updated with corresponding values.
