Assignee to user in issue

Question

Hello. I have Server Jira v7.11.2. I use API v.2.

So, I want to change assignee to another user. How can I do that?

1. I haven't possibility to use URL like https://site.ru/rest/api/latest/issue/{ISSUE_KEY}/assignee. I see 405 error.

2. I tried an example

curl -D- -u fred:fred -X PUT --data {see below} -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://site.ru/rest/api/2/issue/{ISSUE_KEY}
{
"fields": {
"assignee":{"name":"harry"}
}
}

but it doesn't work.

REST API for jira server (jira hosts on my server)

You use rest api for Jira Server. Are you on Jira Server or Jira Cloud?

Nothing. The Empty result.

I tried this url

curl -D- -u username:pass -X PUT  --data {"fields": {"assignee":{"name":"newuser"}}} -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://site.ru/rest/api/2/issue/{ISSUE_KEY}

and gave

{"errorMessages":["Unexpected end-of-input within/between OBJECT entries
