JIRA 9.5.1 : Unable to solve "Option id 'null' is not valid" error - Java API

[Suave Devil]

Hello everyone,

I have browsed extensively on this error, and people either say that the field name is wrong or the field value is wrong in their cases but I have tried all possible combinations to no avail.

I am using Java API for JIRA to create a new bug, and my company has a field called "Detected by Test Type" (customfield_15870). The accepted values are "Integration Testing", "Functional Testing" and "Performance Testing". Each look like this (I did a getField on this field from an existing bug and got individual values)

value: "Performance Testing" id: "12345" self: "https:///rest/api/2/customFieldOption/12345" disabled: false

This tells me I got the field name correct, and the individual values correct too.

Here is my code:

Map<String, Object> cascadingValues = new HashMap<String, Object>();
cascadingvalues.put("value",  "Performance Testing");
cascadingvalues.put("id",  "12345");
cascadingvalues.put("disabled",  false);
cascadingvalues.put("self",  "https://<url>/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/12345");

iib.setFieldValue("customfield_15870", new ComplexIssueInputFieldValue(cascadingValues));

I have tried these options as well:

    iib.setFieldValue("customfield_15870", ComplexIssueInputFieldValue.with("value", "Performance Testing"));

    iib.setFieldValue("customfield_15870", ComplexIssueInputFieldValue.with("id", "Performance Testing"));

    iib.setFieldValue("customfield_15870", ComplexIssueInputFieldValue.with("value", "12345"));
   

    iib.setFieldValue("customfield_15870", ComplexIssueInputFieldValue.with("id", "12345"));

And yet, it throws me the "Option id 'null' is not valid" error. Can someone please help?

Here is the stack trace:

Is this a Cascading Select List field? If so, is the child value required? It looks like you're setting the first value, but not the second.

To set the second value, I think this should work (or something very similar)

"customfield_15870": {"id":"12345", "child":{"id":"23456"}}
