I have a jira custom field that I got created by the admins. It is a dropdown with 2 possible field values. One of them is set as a default.
In my shell script from where the data is created, I am trying to update the same custom field to the value which is not the default (if certain conditions are met). After the condition is met, and I am getting the correct value for $customfield1(the other non-default value) and $key(issue number)
I am firing this
curl --silent -D- -u charlie:charlie -X PUT --data {"fields" : {"customfield1": $customfield1}} -H "Content-Type: application/json" -w "\n%{http_code}"https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue/$key
However, no matter what I try, my issue is getting created with the default value of the customfield1. I am not able to override with my other value via this command. Any thoughts?
Hi @Sach
Two things to try :
Via the linux command line, I tried the below 4 methods to update the existing Jira issue each of which gave me the following errors :
Command 1:
curl -D- -u charlie:charlie -X PUT --data {"update" : {"customfield_38101": [{"set" : "ABC"}]}} -H "Content-Type: application/json" -w https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue/COMP-1022
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host ':'
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched brace at pos 20
curl: (3) [globbing] illegal character in range specification at pos 2
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host ':'
-----------------
Command 2:
curl -D- -u charlie:charlie -X PUT --data {"fields": {"customfield_38101": {"value":"ABC"}}} -H "Content-Type: application/json" -w https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue/COMP-1022
curl: (3) [globbing] unmatched brace at pos 20
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'value:ABC'
--------------------------------
Command 3:
curl -D- -u charlie:charlie -X PUT --data "{\"fields\" : {\"customfield_38101\": [{ \"value\": \"ABC\" }]}}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue/COMP-1022
{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_38101":"Could not find valid 'id' or 'value' in the Parent Option object."}}
--------------------
Command 4:
curl -D- -u charlie:charlie -X PUT --data "{\"fields\" : {\"customfield_38101\": [{ \"value\": \"id\": \"52803\" }]}}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://jira.company.com/rest/api/2/issue/COMP-1022
{"errorMessages":["Unexpected character (':' (code 58)): was expecting comma to separate OBJECT entries
Any suggestions to either of the above ? I tried several options from the Atlassian's documentation like using update, fields, set, etc . From the editmeta I was able to identify the custom field number and the value ID I needed but just not able to edit it
