I tried different options but was not able to resolve this. Any help is appreciated

Hi @Poornima Somasekhara 

Your update request payload needs to contain a field or update key. Without it, Jira gives this error because it is unsure of what needs to be changed. Make sure your automation or API call structure is proper by checking it again.

You can use this as a reference

Hope this helps.

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Did you find some reference material indicating that you could set issue properties through the Advanced Editing option in Automation Rules? If so, could you share the link for that material with us?
