Updating subtasks using Python update() Jira API

[Elijah Scherz]

Currently, I'm trying to update some simple fields on a subtask in a Next-Gen project. I'm using the update() python method, and here is what I am using as fields:

{'project': {'id': '11205'}, 'summary': 'This child also needs to be done', 'description': 'UPDATED', 'issuetype': {'name': 'Subtask'}, 'parent': {'id': '16469', 'key': 'LT-4'}}

However, whenever update() is called, I get this error:

Issue type is a sub-task but parent issue key or id not specified.

Obviously, this doesn't make much sense because I am very clearly passing in both.

If anyone has any idea what could be causing this, let me know!

Dear @Elijah Scherz ,

have you tried to paste the whole JSON request inside postman or any other REST client? Does the same error occur?

So long
