REST API - Project Specific Select Field update Error

[Alexander SCHENK]

We changed due to functionality reasons our field type from "Project Specific Select Field (simple)" to "Project Specific Select Field". But now it is not possible to update values of these new customfields via REST API:

URL: HOME_URL/rest/api/2/issue/WCLC2015-4199

Post-Data: {"update":{"customfield_10800":[{"set":"{value=SGI-NET}"}]}}

Error: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_10800":"Could not find valid 'id' or 'value' in the Parent Option object."}}

A field of type "Project Specific Select Field (simple)" is technically a text field, where you can set the value as described above.

"customfield_80000": {
     "value": "red"
}

But fields of type "Project Specific Select Field" are technically select fields like fixVersion and component field. These are set via ID and not via value.

"versions": [
   {
     "id": "10000"
   }
]

Hope this helps?

Thanks for this reply. I changed to "id" and tried again, but the same error occurs.

HOME_URL/rest/api/2/issue/WCLC2015-4199

"update":  {
     "customfield_10800":[
            {"set":"  [
                 { 
                      id:11803
                 }
              ]
           "}
      ]
 }

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"customfield_10800":"Could not find valid 'id' or 'value' in the Parent Option object."}}

I get the following response when GET Value of the specific issue:

  "customfield_10800":{  
     "self":"HOME_URL/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/11803",
     "value":"SGI-NET",
     "id":"11803"
  },

Can you update other custom fields of type standard JIRA Select List via this approach?

[Holger Schimanski]

How about using

{
  "fields": {
    "customfield_10800": [
      {
        "set": "11803"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Please have a look at the REST API.
