Unable to update custom user field via Rest API

Andrew Boeger_yis4oq

Hello,

I'm trying to update 2 custom single-choice user fields on an issue via the Rest API but it's failing. I'm getting a 204 response indicating success, but the field isn't actually updating. I am trying all different combinations of samples I'm finding in these forums -- using the "update" section, using the "fields" section, using "set" vs "name" vs "id" vs "accountId". I'm using a valid email and accountId based on the user I'm getting back from the users API. The Jira documentation is just not helping very much here and the success response without any action is really irritating.

Can anyone help me out?

 

{"fields":
   {"customfield_10092":
      [{"name":"andrew.-------@vivun.com"}], 
    "customfield_10093":
      [{"accountId":"60d5a76------6a939f0c"}]
   }
}

{"fields":
   {"customfield_10092":
      [{"id":"andrew.-------@vivun.com"}], 
    "customfield_10093":
      [{"set":"60d5a76------6a939f0c"}]
   }
}

Hello Andrew, 

Try the following format and let me know what effect it has : 

 

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10092" : { "accountId" : "60d5a76------6a939f0c"},
"customfield_10093" : { "accountId" : "60d5a76------6a939f0c"}
} 
}
