Update field on Jira ticket with post request using Python

anne_2133iv

Hi, I'd like to update a field on a Jira ticket using Python, but it did not work. 
I received 200, but it did not update the field.

This (url, body, auth) works with Postman.

Could someone help? 

import requests
import json

name = "abc"

url = f"https://jira.domain.com/rest/api/latest/issue/1343"
body = {"update": {"customfield_11744": [{"set": {"name": name}}]}}
r = requests.put(url, auth=('id','pw'), json=body)

print(r.status_code)

unknown

Hello @anne 

If you read the Python examples provided in the REST API documentation, they show how to use the <strong>requests.HTTPBasicAuth</strong> module to apply Base64 encoding to the username + token combination in the auth section of the header.

Also, what is the purpose of the letter 'f' before the url in your Python code?
