Trying to edit select field with Value not ID

Hi

I am trying to Edit a field through Automation using JSON on a custom field.

I would like to set the Cusom field Company with the value of Abcde

{
"fields": {
"Company": {
"value": "Abcde"
}
}
}

The above gives me this error:

XXX-85 (Can not deserialize instance of java.lang.Long out of START_OBJECT token at [Source: N/A; line: -1, column: -1] (app-key__field-key))

Please advise?

Thank you

Hi @Yatish Madhav

in order to have a better overview and analyze the problem could you please share a screentshot of your whole automation rule?

furthermore:
What type of field is the requested field? single select? Is "Abcde" configured as an option in your custom field?

Furthermore I would suggest to define the field you´d like to edit by the customfield_ID, eg.:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10095": {
"value": "high"
}
}
}

Thanks @Stefan Salzl

It is basically an Edit action with the More options > Additional fields set to the above JSON.

Company is a custom field single select dropdown created and populated via a custom connect app as on https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/modules/issue-field/

Abcde is an option in the Company field, yes.

Aim is to update the single select to have the Abcde option selected.

Thank you

I see. As far as I could understand in a short research custom fields created by apps could behave a bit different than native jira custom fields.

Unfortunately I can´t test this in my site. Here is a link I found that might provide a feasible solution. I would suggest to give it a shot:

Thanks again @Stefan Salzl - hehehe thanks for that link. Odd that I see my comment is the last one in there from Jul 2020

So I can set the field based on ID of the field option ... but I only have the field option's value.

Someone? Anyone? Somewhere? Any idea on this please? Thank you

I hope I can get more visibility on this ... still looking for a solution to this. Thank you

I wonder if anyone has found a solution to this please? Thank you

I am starting to sound desperate on this ... because I am Any idea anyone, please? Thank you

This will set a select list value based on another onn edit.. I'm now on looking on how to create a new option..

This works on the Current Epic

Thanks for that @Darren Pegg - I'm afraid that does not work

I want to edit it with JSON and then use it as a variable as you have started with ...

I cannot use the field, as you have for EPIC Name (reportable) as you have as it is an custom app field and not a custom field created on Jira itself.
