Is it possible to add multiple values in single select list using REST API ?

[Om Pravin S]

Hi,

I am new to JIRA & trying to insert/add multiple values in Single Select list field using REST API. I tried in lot of ways, but im able to insert/add only single value in select list using REST API through 3rd party plugin(rest-api-browser). But i can't  add multiple values, so anyone have an ideas on this, please let me know or guide.

A single select list, by definition, holds a single value.

So what you're trying to do here is nonsense.  You can't do it with REST because it only holds a single value.

single select list, by definition, holds a single value - Im trying to add extra values/options in drop down list.

Example : Name field having 2 values as John, Peter in select list. Now i would like to add Jack, Nelson, Victor, etc in that list by REST API.

I got an example from 3rd party plugin(Extender for JIRA) by inserting more than 1 values in Single Select list. FYI refer this link - http://www.itlab.net.pl/plugins/extender-for-jira/#ffs-tabbed-33|ffs-tabbed-11|ffs-tabbed-41|ffs-tabbed-21 

Response Body :

{
    "parentOptionId":"10105",
    "optionName":["New option 1", "New Option 2"]
}

 so im trying to implement the same. But its not working.

Oh.  You mean you are adding options, not setting the field to a value as you said before.

The REST API does not yet support doing that, so I assume that's what you have the extender add-on - have you got that installed?

The response you've got there looks like it's for a cascading select?  What are you posting?

I installed that plugin and running on POSTMAN as per steps given in that link. I m able to retrieve all custom fields and also getting configuration scheme for custom field, but unable to 

Add values into custom field configuration scheme

POST url - 

{JIRA_URL}/rest/extender/1.0/customField/getValue/{configSchemeId}

{JIRA_URL}/rest/extender/1.0/customField/getValue/10104

POST body Request -

{
    "optionName":["New option 1", "New Option 2"]
}

But im getting status as 404 Not Found :

 <status>
<status-code>404</status-code>
<message>null for uri: http://localhost:8080/rest/extender/1.0/customField/getvalue/10110</message>
</status>

That implies that the extender is not installed or that the 10110 is not a valid value for the post (wrong custom field id)
