Update a Two Part Custom Field in Jira with Python

Dan-Epiphan

Hello All,

 

   I am writing a python application to automatically create Jira issues, and am running into an issue with a required custom field that contains two parts.

 

   The custom field is called 'Program' and is identified as 'customfield_14700'.  When you choose the value / option for the Program field (ie. 'Pearl'), there is a second box next to it that is a sub-option (ie. G3 - SW).

 

   When you query the value of the custom field :

        > ticket_obj = jira.issue('MD-7347')
        > print ticket_obj.fields.customfield_14700

   Result :

        > Pearl - G3 - SW

   

   I am using a dictionary to build the create issue request, but am having a problem with the custom field.  So far I have :

 

        issue_dict = {
            'project':{'key':'MD'},
            'summary':'Automated Issue : This is a test',
            'description':'Sample description of the issue.',
            'issuetype':{'name':'Bug'},
            'customfield_14700':{'0':'Pearl', '1':'G3 - SW'}
        }

        new_issue = jira.create_issue(fields=issue_dict)

 

    I know the above customfield_14700 is wrong; it is the closest I can seem to find based on other similar questions.  

 

    I get the following when executing :

 

        response text - {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_14700":"Could not find valid 'id' or 'value' in the Parent Option object."}}

 

   I am hoping I am missing something obvious; but am at a loss right now.

 

   Has anyone encountered this scenario / have any thoughts on how to populate values into a two part custom field?

 

   Appreciate any help / suggestions.

 

Thanks!

Dan.
