API deselect option from custom field single-select not working

[Valter Júnior]

I have the same issue described here:

https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/API-deselect-option-from-custom-field-single-select-not-working/qaq-p/1789037

Any idea what's wrong? And why is it not returning errors from this API?

Hi @Pablo V_ I'm working with field types created by connect app! Although our application now is running on forge :)

I believe it is worth checking with Atlassian since the /rest/api/3/field/{fieldKey}/option/{optionId}/issue endpoint documentation claims: "Note that this operation only works for issue field select list options added by Connect apps"

Then the question is, does the endpoint really support Forge apps, or does Atlassian need to enhance the endpoint?

Just my two cents!

Hi @Valter Júnior - just to confirm, are you working with select list field types created by a Connect or Forge app?

If not, and working with a native Jira select list field type, then you will need to use the https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-custom-field-options/#api-rest-api-3-field-fieldid-context-contextid-option-optionid-issue-delete endpoint.
