Setting "Yes"/"No" field when submitting a ticket using Python API

[Craig Anderson]

I'm trying to set a bug ticket field that can be "Yes" or "No" in the UI.

The field name is "customfield_11550" ("Regression")

I tried a bunch of different things:

ticket["customfield_11550"] = [{"name": "Yes"}]
ticket["customfield_11550"] = {"name": "Yes"}
ticket["customfield_11550"] = {"name": "yes"}
ticket["customfield_11550"] = {"name": True}

I get back:

"Specify a valid 'id' or 'name' for Regression"

Through lots of trial and error, found the answer:

ticket["customfield_11550"] = {"value": "Yes"}

The error message is IMHO quite misleading - it talks about "name", but you need to use "value".  Arg!
