How to I set a custom group picker field to a user group in JIRA Automation

Kathi Paquet

I want to set a custom field (group picker field - single group) to a particular user group.

My automation looks like this:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10140": {"id":"35911a95-667e-4fb6-a5e5-9b4550ce1cc7"}

}
}

Error:  (Unrecognized field "id" (Class com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.rest.json.beans.GroupJsonBean), not marked as ignorable at [Source: N/A; line: -1, column: -1] (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.rest.json.beans.GroupJsonBean["id"]) (customfield_10140))

When I tried this: 

{

    "fields": {

           "customfield_10140": {{"id": "35911a95-667e-4fb6-a5e5-9b4550ce1cc7" }}

        }

}

I get the error:  

(Can not deserialize instance of com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.rest.json.beans.GroupJsonBean out of START_ARRAY token at [Source: N/A; line: -1, column: -1] (customfield_10140))

 

Can someone help me with the context?

This is very strange... now all of sudden I can see my custom field within the Edit Issue.  I didn't see it before and was trying to set the value within the Advanced.  So no issues and resolved!
