On a PUT request I recieve a customfield cannot be set error

Question

I use Postman to test a PUT request in my JIRA sandbox.

My JSON body:

{    "update": {"customfield_15315": [{"set":"11111011112"}]}}

but keep on getting the following response:

{    "errorMessages": [],    "errors": {        "customfield_15315": "Field 'customfield_15315' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."    }}

I essentially just want to edit one field on the issue. I get this error on all the field, custom and standard.

I have admin rights and the field is visible the create/view/edit screens of this project.

This is my path rest/api/2/issue/464382 with no parameters set

@David van Staden,

That is odd, as that URL works for me if I want to look at the edit meta in my instance. Are you having problems with other API's, or just these ones?

Thanks,

Kian

Any other ideas in regards to what I can look out for?

Hi Kian,

Thanks for the reply.

I can see the field on my create & view screen.

What bothers me is if I run the following GET request https://jira.stage.eu-west-1.aws.clickatell.com/rest/api/2/issue/464382/editmeta

I only get this response: {    "fields": {}}

I was under the impression that the response should list all fields available.

When I run this GET request https://jira.stage.eu-west-1.aws.clickatell.com/rest/api/2/issue/464382/?

I get a response with all fields on that issue, even the fields that are not visible on the screen.
