Use post instead put in jira rest api

[daniel_hedberg]

Hi,

Is it possible to update assignee or a field with post and not put? This is what i am using currently,

"user:password" -X PUT --data '{"fields":{"assignee":{"name":"username"}}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" portal.jira.com/rest/api/2/issue/issue

Dear @daniel_hedberg,

that depends on the API - different request types on the same API call have different behaviors.

In your case, there is no implementation for POST.  Eventually the API is clever enough to fix forward and treat the request as a PUT.

So long

Thomas
