PUT json file into a field value

[albertogarci86]

Hi all,

I have a file with some value in a JSON format. (Obtained with an api rest curl GET from a text area custom field) 

{"expand":"renderedFields,names,schema,operations,editmeta,changelog,versionedRepresentations","id":"888051","self":"https://jira.com/rest/api/2/issue/888051","key":"KEY-0","fields":{"customfield_13630":"Date:: 2018-06-25 14:33:06 +0200 (Mon, 25 Jun 2018)
Author:: username
Message:: This is a json test"}}

Can I use any api rest method to post it into a custom field directly?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards

Hello!

This is an example for editing a text field customfield_40494 in a BUG-569. First of all, I create the json file like this:

{"fields":{"customfield_40494":"EXAMPLE TEXT"}

After that I upload changes to the BUG-569 using the following command:

curl -k  -X PUT --data @jsonFile -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://JIRAURL/rest/api/2/issue/BUG-569?fields=customfield_40494";
