How to save values to a multiselect field using the rest API

Ken O_Brien

I am attempting to set the values for a Jira object (type: array, items: option, customfieldtypes:multicheckboxes) using the Jira REST API, as specified in the documentation but it does not work giving me a variety of errors from "Bad Request" to "Not Authorized" but the problem seem to be that the body of the web request is malformed. 

According to the documentation the format should be: "customfield_11201": [{"value": "Disclosure"}]

where "Disclosure" is an allowable value.  This is throwing an error.

Hi @Ken O_Brien 

I believe you need to add the field context as a key in a dict to be able to use it. example of payload

{

"fields":

{ "customfield_11201": [{"value": "Disclosure"}]

   }

}
