Can update the values that are presented in a custom field using the REST API?

Ryan McBryde February 14, 2019

I have a custom field called Work Request that presents a list of values in a drop-down on the screen.  Currently I update the values in that list manually.  I would like to update them programatically.  I have looked at a number of add-ons;  CLI, Automation, but have not been able to find any that do what I need.  The input data can be in JSON, XML, or CSV format.  Any format really, not locked into any particular one.  I am familiar with how to update an issue using a CSV file but I do  not want to update an issue.  I want to update the data that is presented in a custom field that is presented on an issue.

I am trying to do this outside of the tool, if possible.  I do not want to have to tie it to an event or any particular change to an existing issue.

Can I do this with the JIRA REST API or is there some other method that would work here?
