How to add (append) user in multiuser picker field using jira-python libraries?

Teja

Hi Team,

Need help to add a user to the existing multiuser picker field without replacing the original user.

Here is the jira-python code

for issue in jira.search_issues('project = "Abcd" and issuetype = Epic and status not in (Closed) and Testers in (tnaik)', maxResults=200):

 print('{}: {}'.format(issue.key, issue.fields.customfield_10600)) //customfield_10600 Testers (multiuser field)

 issue.update(fields={"customfield_10600": [ {"name": "tnaik1" }]})

I would like to append tnaik1 where the tnaik exist in the above JQL, Testers field.
The above script completely replaces the user.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Warm Regards
Tejas

You will need to get the accountId for any user picker field, then you can append that. That will involve you searching for the users from your user base.
