Jira Automation: create issue with mandatory Dependent Dropdown (cascading)

[David Silva]

Hello team, I'm trying to create an issue with this custom field that is a Dependent Dropdown.

I'm  configuring the advanced option of "Additional fields" as follows:

{
 "fields": {
  "customfield_123": [{
   "value": "Parent Value",
   "child": [{
    "value": "Child Value"
   }]
  }]
 }
}

and I get this error

data was not an array (customfield_123), Can not deserialize instance of com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.rest.json.beans.CustomFieldOptionJsonBean out of START_ARRAY token at [Source: N/A; line: -1, column: -1] (customfield_124)

I get the same field info using REST on another ticket, like this... but it didn't work either

"customfield_10288": {
 "self": "https://myorg.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/123",
 "value": "Parent Value",
 "id": "123",
 "child": {
  "self": "https://myorg.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/124",
  "value": "Child Value",
  "id": "124"
 }
}

Can you please help??

Please modify your syntax and let us know if issues. Hope it helps. Thanks!
