Body for Checkbox set value in Jira Rest API with POST in Scriptrunner is not valid object

[Fawaz Joseph]

So I'm trying to set checkbox values using script runner specifically Script Listener.

This is the code I'm trying to execute

 put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issueKey}")
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields: [
"customfield_10036": [
[["value": "ALL"], ["value": "BT7"], ["value": "MACS"], ["value": "SPINS"], ["value": "BT4"], ["value": "NGB30"], ["value": "NG7S"]]
]
]
]).asString()

However for some reason, I get this error

body: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"Instrument":"The Instrument value must be an object"}}

How the value not an object.

Thank you

Hi Fawaz,

I can confirm we have an example script that can be run  on the script console that shows how to set a checkbox field here.

You will be able to use this script to help write the rest API call neeed to set the checkbox values via a script listener.

I hope this helps.

Just to add, the only issue with your call @Fawaz Joseph is you have 1 too many sets of brackets, 

[["value": "ALL"] <- all your other options -> ["value": "NG7S"]]

Should become:

["value": "ALL"] <- all your other options -> ["value": "NG7S"]

This will be very useful going foward
