How To Update Custom Fields via Jira API?

[Randy Smith]

Using CFML, I'm trying to update a custom field that contains a number.  I've tried a number of variations of the body value and different versions of the URL.

Anyone have any idea what I'm setting wrong?

    <cfset bodyValue = '{

            "fields":{"customfield_1234":564}

        }' />

    <cfhttp url="https://cfcorg.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/ABC-1234" method="POST">

        <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic my-encoded-key-here">

        <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type"  value="application/json">

        <cfhttpparam type="body" value="#bodyValue#">

    </cfhttp>

Found the answer - updates like this need METHOD="PUT"

    <cfset bodyValue = '{

        "fields":{

            "customfield_12345":564

        }

    }' />

    <cfhttp url="https://cfcorg.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/ABC-1234" method="PUT">

        <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic my-encoded-key-here">

        <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type"  value="application/json">

        <cfhttpparam type="body" value="#bodyValue#">

    </cfhttp>
