Edit custom field with REST API

Question

Hi,

We have a custom label field in our workflow.

The field is displayed on the issue page and during different transition (not in the edit pop-up).  It can be edited directly from the main page of the issue.

Is-it possible to edit that field with the REST API without adding it in the edit screen ? Or only fields in the edit screen can be changed by the REST API ?

Thanks!

The only way I know of to do this is to make a status transition (possibly a "circular" status transition back to the same status) that is restricted to only the service account that is being used for the REST API. Then make that transition have a screen with the field.

Hi
Try this to check all data that can be edited in your issue

http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/JRA-13/editmeta

But i think only field on edit screen can be edited but i'm maybe wrong.
Sorry for my english
