update due date using rest api

[KP]

I am trying to use the below curl command, to update DueDate field, however, the O/P is :

 curl -u <userid>  <api-url> -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"update": {"duedate":"null"}' -X PUT -sS



{"errorMessages":["Can not deserialize instance of java.util.ArrayList out of VALUE_STRING token\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@43077033; line: 1, column: 13] (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.issue.IssueUpdateBean[\"update\"])"]}

Could someone in the know, please shed some light?

Try sending something like this instead

curl -u <userid> <api-url> -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"update": { "duedate": [ {"set": "2014-05-22"} ] } }' -X PUT -sS

Hi,

The file method hasnt worked as expected.

curl -u <userid> <api-url> -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"update": {"duedate":[{"set":[{"2015-04-20"}]}]}}' -X PUT -sS  

on the other hand issues me 403 - Forbidden error

Any help on this or review of this error would be much appreciated

I would try putting the data into a file and using the curl -d @filename.ext notation. I find that things tend to work better that way, especially when it comes to quotation marks on the command prompt.
