Hi

Hi Showkat,

If I understand your request you would like to edit existing issues including those with custom fields. An example message to update assignee, priority and 2 custom fields for the issue QA-31 would be :

curl -D- -u fred:fred -X PUT --data {see below} -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://kelpie9:8081/rest/api/2/issue/QA-31

example input data

{ "fields": { "summary":"CLONE - Testing label stuff", "assignee":{"name":"harry"}, "priority":{"id":"2"}, "customfield_10010":["asdf","centre","champs","charge","confluence"], "customfield_10071":["purple pants"] } }

There are a lot of other great examples of JIRA REST API available from here:
