    Call the help RPC: help the_rpc_you_are_using_to_get_the_new_address

    Usually the issue tracker is used to track technical issues related to the Bitcoin Core code base. Keep in mind that general bitcoin questions and/or support requests are best directed to the Bitcoin StackExchange or the #bitcoin IRC channel on freenode.
