How to set duedate field on issue via rest api

[Chris Johnston]

I am attempting to set the due date for a new issue however it's not being set when I post the json object, the issue is created however.  I noticed some posts referencing a customfield for setting the duedate however if I manually set a due date and call a get against the issue I don't see any fields which have the date info (epoch or otherwise) on customfields, just duedate.  I have tried various formats for the date and have had no luck in setting it via an API call.

"duedate" : "1525788000000"

"duedate" : 16-5-2018"

"duedate" : 16-5-2018Txxxxxxxx"

etc..

thanks.

Hello,

Try to pass like this

  "duedate": "2011-03-11"

The issue ended up being an issue with my json transformation from ui to api; I just tested it successfully.  Thanks Alexey.
