Error: "data was not array" when updating custom field config values

alexmears

I have a custom field that has multiple options.

I am trying to update Option 1 via a script using ScriptRunner

put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issueKey}")
 .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
 .body([
     fields:[
         "customfield_10066": [
             "value": "Option1"
         ]
     ]
 ])
 .asString()

Problem: the above script returns an error:

2018-08-30 03:54:35.081 WARN - PUT request to /rest/api/2/issue/OP-35 returned an error code: status: 400 - Bad Request
body: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"Flag":"data was not an array"}}

where "Flag" is the name of customfield_10066

Note: I have tried wrapping the value change as follows:

[{"value": "Option1"}]

but this returns an equally fatal error:

Script1.groovy: 47: expecting '}', found ':' @ line 47, column 34.
                           [{"value": "Option1"}]
                                    ^

Hello @alexmears

Try
