Updating the component name in the script gives me a error

[Uthra Narasimhan]

I am using Jira cloud ,  I would like to update the component field using the script, but doing so gives me the error below:

400: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"components":"Component/s is required."}}

Here is my script:

def issueKey = 'JTP-1'
def newSummary = 'Updated by a script'

def result = put('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields:[
summary: newSummary,
description:"some random stuff",
components:[{
name: "TestUI"}]
]
])
.asString()
if (result.status == 204) {
return 'Success'
} else {
return "${result.status}: ${result.body}"
}

If I remove the components the other two summary and description gets updated without any issues

Please note that I am using lira cloud and any help with a example script would be really appreciated. Thank you.

You need to specify the components inside a "set"

"components": [ { "set": "" } ],
