How to inform an object custom field with the API REST

Diego Manríquez

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create an issue using the JIRA API REST. In this particular JIRA, there's a field that is mandatory in order to create the issue but it has a strange format. When I perform a GET this is what I retreived:

 

"customfield_XXXX": [ "{KEY}" ]

But when I try to update this customfield I need this format:

"customfield_xxxx": [ { "key": "{KEY}" } ]

But for some reason when I try to create an issue with this customfield, this error shows up:

"errorMessages": [],

"errors": { "customfield_xxxx": "{Name of the customfield} is mandatory." }

Is like it doesn't recognize the value. Can somebody take a look please?

Hi @Diego Manríquez Can you share exactly what your POST body looks like? What type of custom field are you trying to update? (e.g. single line custom field, multi-select list, etc.)
