Update Field using Python

Question

Good morning,

I am trying to update a custom field in Jira, using the following code and I'm getting a 415 error code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

import json
import requests

jiraSession = requests.Session()

username =  input("username: ") 
password =  input("password: ")
jiraURL = 'http://ourbaseurl.jira.com'

#-------------- CALL -----------------

searchAPI = jiraURL + '/rest/api/2/issue/ISSUE-1'
holder = requests.put(searchAPI, auth=(username, password), data=
    {"update":
        {"customfield_1000":
            {
"set":
                    {
"value": "FIELD VALUE"
                    }
            }
        }})

I still appreciate your help! I will go ahead and use the jira-python library.

This is what i mostly use, haven't had any issues or tested with a Tempo field. I'll take a look.

Thanks!   I was trying to avoid using the jira python library because it runs kind of slow. Though, my custom field is a Tempo field, so I'm assuming that's what's causing my issues.
