How to set overrideScreenSecurity=true with Python

Francesco R

I'm using jira 2.0.0 Python modules to set some customfields.
All is working but for one customfield that is not in the edit screen of the issue I'm getting the message "Field 'customfield_xxxx' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown." I've checked that I can get rid of this error setting overrideScreenSecurity tu true but I'm not able to do it using jira for Python.
I get my issues in this way:

issues = jira.search_issues(jql, start_idx, block_size)
for issue in issues:
    issue.update(fields={'customfield_10740': 'my value'})

How can I set this parameter ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello @Francesco R 

 

The error message "cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown", means that the field is not on the edit screen. You will need to add it to the screen.

I think the python module work like the API REST, so you can only do what you can do on the UI.

 

Hope this helps
