I have a custom field that includes dropdown options. How can I select an option from that field by using JIRA API

If its drop down, you can pass a value or ID depending on what you have.

"customfield_11449" : { "value": "option3" } or "customfield_11449" : { "id": 10112 }

Please spend some time with below links to further get to know Jira data structures:

Should I have to use the same API that I have already used for text customfield to populating the data or is there any other API for this dropdown CustomField? If I have to use some other API can you please paste the API Endpoint here.

Thank you.
