How to set custom field option value when creating a issue via JIRA API?

I have tried setting a custom field option value when creating an issue via Jira API. The request was successful and the Jira issue was created successfully. However, the custom field value is not set. Please help me to fix this.

Hello @Peter Jerold Leslie 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Which of the custom fields in your code failed to get set? There appear to be two custom fields in your code.

What is the field type of the custom field?

Hello @Trudy Claspill

The field that is not getting updated is `customfield_10226` which has the options "Yes" and "No"

[Trudy Claspill]

What type of field is that?

Selection List

Checkboxes

Radio Buttons

???

@Trudy Claspill It's a selection list in the JIRA console. But I am trying to set it via API.
