Can not update CF Issue Picker Field values using REST API.

[Deleted user]

Hi,

We create a custom field type is "CF Issue Picker" using plugin i.e https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.as.cf.issuepicker.cf-issuepicker/server/overview 

But, we are not able to update respective field value using REST API.

Trying to update or delete values in field "Parent Specification" (customfield_10601). Doing this via REST API, e.g. to update, I'm sending this:

{ "fields": { "customfield_10601": "SPEC-4577" }}

However, these requests return "HTTP 500" error:

{ "errorMessages": [ "Internal server error" ], "errors": {}}

The only operation that works is above operation ONLY when the field is empty. So if a field already has some value, I cannot change or remove it, but if it's empty, then I can add a single value.

The schema for this field is strange - the type is "any" while this is an array field. Also, it only allows "set" operation:

"customfield_10601": {
"required": false,
"schema": { "type": "any", "custom": "com.as.cf.issuepicker.cf-issuepicker:cf-issue-picker", "customId": 10601 },
"name": "Parent Specification",
"operations": [
"set"
]
},

Can you please help us how to update using REST API.

The custom field is capable of holding multiple values same like Label/ Components fields available in JIRA. Hence you have to send the values the same way you updates Label/Components. 

So the possible way to send that data through the REST call will be like this:

"customfield_10601" : [ "SPEC-4577" , "SPEC-4578" ] 

 Let me know if it works for you!

I have the same problem and your advice didn't work for me.
