How can I update a customfield of an issue with Jira Rest API?

[BrunoTeixeira1996]

I googled a lot and found some posts here but none of the posts helped me ...

I am trying to update the value of a text field inside an issue but I am failing

I am using the /rest/api/2/issues/<issue_id> with a PUT request and sending

{
  "update": {
    "customfield_10063": [
       {
        "set": [
         {
           "name": "Satheesh Nss"
         }
        ]
       }
     ]
    }
}

But nothing happens ... any ideia how I can do this?

Looking at this document

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-put

...it seems like you need to do it this way:

"update": { 
  "customfield_10063": [ 
    { 
      "set": "Satheesh Nss"
    } 
  ]
}
