Whenever I am trying to update labels field on JIRA, it's returning "Bad Request 400" error.

[test test]

Tried:

{"update":{"labels":[{"add":"this-is-the-label-you're-adding"}]}}

getting below error:{

    "errorMessages": [],

    "errors": {

        "labels": "Field 'labels' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."

    }

}

From the UI I am able to edit and add existing labels but while doing the same from postman it is giving the BAD REQUEST error.

Labels field is on the user interface.

Hi @test test 

What is the payload you send in the api call ?

Have you add Content-Type header with value application/json ?

Can you send a screenshot of the payload and the headers you send, please make sure to blur any Authorization hearder or anything named token or cookies.

Regards

Hi @test test welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Can you confirm that the Labels system field is set on all issue operation screens (create/edit/view)?

[test test]

Yes labels is set on all issues and i am able to update the label through user interface but unable to perform the operation through postman.

[Dave Mathijs]

I'm afraid I cannot help you with postman.

No Problem @Dave Mathijs  Thankyou so much for your response.
