Jira API - Insight object customfield

Gleb Kartashov

Hi!

I'm using REST API to create issues in Jira. However, I was not able to fill a "Insight object" custom field. I'm getting "data was not an array" and "expected Object" error when passing values to these fields:

The code:

request.post(myhost.com, {
   'auth': {
      'user': 'user',
      'pass': 'pass',
      'sendImmediately': true
   },
  json: {
     fields: {
         project : {
             key : "test"
         },
             summary: createDescription[i],
             description : createInformation[i],
             customfield_12300 : createNumber[i],
             customfield_10218 : "SERVICE-61413", 
             customfield_10225 : "SERVICE-61481", 
             customfield_10226 : "SERVICE-61574", 
         issuetype : {
             name: "test"
         }
    }
  }
}

 I was trying to fix "data was not an array" error by passing values as

customfield_10218 : ["SERVICE-61413"],
customfield_10225 : ["SERVICE-61481"],
customfield_10226 : ["SERVICE-61574"],

but this resulted in "expected Object" error:

Also I've tried to pass these values not as object key but object name, but this didn't work either.

How do I pass values to Insight object customfield correctly?

Hi Gleb,

We will paste the answer here for everyone to benefit from the information

The correct format to send in the JSON payload would be

"customfield_10225" : [{"key" : "SERVICE-1"}]

Cheers!
