How to set a value to cascade child field via JIRA Rest API

Rene Salomao

I am testing a payload via Postman to add values into cascade field in issue ticket on JIRA environment (non-Cloud), normally we would pass info as such. 

"customfield": {"value": "Parent", "child": {"value":"Child"}}

However in our existing application, technical team made it impossible to pass information as above and ask us if possible to break down into two lines. Found something similar at "https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/how-to-set-cascade-custom-field-value-to-ap-jira-opencreateissuedialog-issue/35987" (JIRA Cloud), but did not worked for us:

"customfield": { "value": "Parent" },

"customfield:1": { "value": "Child" }

Is there any other alternative?

 

Thanks.

Hi @Rene Salomao 

 

Welcome to the community!

You will need to set the cascade custom field like this:

 

 "customfield_xxxxx": {
      "value": "xxxxx",
      "child": {
        "value": "xxxxx"
      }

You will need to replace the Xs

 

Thanks,
