Can't get curl to post to my custom field

Dee Heffemm

I am trying to post an issue to JIRA Service Desk which requires a multi-select custom field to be filled in (customfield_10900) which references an object in a Riada Insight schema (a server hostname).

I found an article here which is similar but I'm not sure what I should use in the identifier field of the hostname JSON data. I have tried name, Name, ID but none of them seem to produce a populated item.

Have been looking around for a couple hours for different ways to populate this field but I think I might be missing something particular to Insight. Any thoughts?

I can view a list of issues using this URL. The entries I've tried from curl return null for customfield_10900.

https://jira.my.domain.com/jira/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=SD&fields=key,description,issuetype,summary,customfield_10900

An issue (correctly) created in the web browser returns this for the custom field. It appears there is a reference to the Insight schema INTES-3891 but that is not visible on the issue or in the field:

customfield_10900 
0 "kreger.my.domain.com (INTES-3891)"

This is my JSON data file /tmp/tmp.jcBZd0ufL2:

{ "fields": { "project": { "key": "SD" }, "summary": "Test post from curl", "description": "Test description", "issuetype": { "name": "Change Log" }, "customfield_10900":[{"name" : "desktop.test.my.domain.com"}] } }

 

My curl command and returned query ist like this:

test$ curl -D- -u ${CURLUSER}:${CURLPASS} -X POST --data @/tmp/tmp.jcBZd0ufL2 -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira.my.domain.com/jira/rest/api/2/issue/

HI This an example of the data needed when creating an issue, and what is needed for the Insight custom fields is the Key:

{
 "fields": {
 "project":
 {
 "key": "SCRUM"
 },
 "summary": "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the REST.",
 "description": "Creating an issue while setting custom field values",
 "issuetype": {
 "name": "Story"
 },
 "customfield_11500": [{"key":"MS2-15"}] 
 }
}

And here is an example of when editing an issue:
