Update Field using Python

[Ishrat Lallmamode]

Good morning, 

I am trying to update a custom field in Jira, using the following code and I'm getting a 415 error code. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

import json
import requests

jiraSession = requests.Session()


username =  input("username: ") 
password =  input("password: ")
jiraURL = 'http://ourbaseurl.jira.com' 


#-------------- CALL -----------------

searchAPI = jiraURL + '/rest/api/2/issue/ISSUE-1'
holder = requests.put(searchAPI, auth=(username, password), data=
    {"update":
        {"customfield_1000":
            {
                "set":
                    {
                        "value": "FIELD VALUE"
                    }
            }
        }})

Hi Ishrat,

https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/examples.html#issues

You can do 

issue = jira.issue('ISSUE-1')

issue.update(fields={'summary': 'new summary', 'description': 'A new summary was added'})

Thanks!   I was trying to avoid using the jira python library because it runs kind of slow. Though, my custom field is a Tempo field, so I'm assuming that's what's causing my issues.

This is what i mostly use, haven't had any issues or tested with a Tempo field. I'll take a look.

I still appreciate your help! I will go ahead and use the jira-python library.
