set options for a multi-select custom field via script

[HanQiao]

Hi Team

Im trying to add options to a multi-select custome field via Python script:

def set_field_options(field_id, options):

    url = f'{JIRA_URL}/rest/api/2/field/{field_id}/option'

    for option in options:

        data = { 'value': option }

        response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), auth=HTTPBasicAuth(USERNAME, API_TOKEN), headers=headers)

I always got an error like:

Failed to create option 'REPLACE LMD' for field 'customfield_10169'. Status code: 400, Response: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"fieldKey":"Field key 'customfield_10169' is not valid"}}

or

Failed to create options for field 'customfield_10169'. Status code: 400, Response: {"errorMessages":["Invalid request payload. Refer to the REST API documentation and try again."]}

Could you help me to solve the problem or give me a API documentation for reference?

Thanks a lot

Take a look at the following reference link on REST APIs -

Hope this helps.
