Update customfield in JIRA using REST API

[Satheesh]

I am trying to use JIRA's Rest API to update bugs custom field

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Get the key of the custom field using the GET request -

https://nsssatheesh.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/HI-2/editmeta

I get the response similar to -

... "customfield_10030": {      "required": false,      "schema": {        "type": "array",        "items": "user",        "custom": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:people",        "customId": 10030,        "configuration": {          "isMulti": true        }      },      "name": "Code-Reviewer-Approver",      "key": "customfield_10030",      "autoCompleteUrl": "https://nsssatheesh.atlassian.net/rest/api/1.0/users/picker?fieldName=customfield_10030&showAvatar=true&query=",      "operations": [        "add",        "set",        "remove"      ]    }...

 2. Create a PUT request using the following content

{    "update": 
  {       "customfield_10030":  
    [        
      {           
        "set": 
          [            
             { "name": "Satheesh Nss" }          
          ]        
       }      
     ]    
  }  
}

 I am getting the response code - 204. But the customfield is not getting updated.

Could you please guide to fix this issue?

Thanks and regards,

I used accountid instead of name to update the value successfully.

Request which has done the update:

{    "update": 
  {       "customfield_10030":  
    [        
      {           "set": 
        [            
          { "accountId": "557058:aeb07d9d-9850-4314-a997-52f213919ce7" }          
        ]        
      }      
     ]    
  }
