post value to custom field in jira

[Manish Amatya]

i am trying to update value to customfield in jira using curl but its not posting.  I am using following command

curl --insecure -u "username":$(cat password.txt) -X POST --data '{"fields":{customfield_10325":"value":"test1"}}' -H "content-Type:application/json" "url"/rest/api/2/issue/Test

Test is my issue

I did not try it. But at a first glance it look a like a syntax error in your post data. Try to wrap "value":"test1" in curly braces and add an opening quotation before customfield like this: 

{"fields":{"customfield_10325": { "value":"test1"} } }

Additionally you should specify a valid issue key. Test does not look valid in my eyes. Test-123 looks better, as each issue always has a unique numerical suffix.
