Hi Douglas,

I am not sure I understand exactly what you are looking for here.  Is it that you are trying to set a custom field value on a particular Jira issue?

Or are you trying to add possible checkbox values to an existing field?

Either should be possible to do with JSON using the REST API.  We have a reference document about it over in https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/

For an existing field on that issue, you should be able to use the Edit issue endpoint of PUT /rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey} in order to update the custom field value for that issue.

However if the field itself doesn't yet have the value you want to be able to select, the REST API endpoint to call can be different depending on whether that custom field was created by a user in Jira, or if that custom field was created via a Connect App.  If you can let me know some more specifics about what you are trying to do here, perhaps I can provide a more specific means to do what you want here.
