How to get the REST API structure for a custom field?

Mark_oofcre

I am preparing a PowerShell script to generate an issue. The error I got is:

"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"Application":"data was not an array"}}

The "Application" field (customfield_11040) is a dropdown menu allowing multiple selection. The values are "HR system","IT system","Purchasing system" etc.

My Powershell compose the json body like below:

$messageBody = @{
 fields = @{
 project = @{
 key = "IT"
 }
 summary = "test create issue"
 description = "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API"
 issuetype = @{
 name = "Bug"
 }
 customfield_11043 = @{ 
 name="test" 
 }

 #application field
 customfield_11040 = @{
 Application="HR system"
 }
 }
}

Please advice how can I check the structure of customfield_11040?

There are examples for all custom field types.
