How to write a script in Jira for multi select field in Rest API

Hi @PADMA KOTHAKOTA

I'm not sure what you're asking. Could you expand on what you're trying to do and what your problem is?

You talk of a script in Jira, but mention the API. Do you need the JQL? Give me some more info please

Hi @Warren ,

We are trying to map a confluence form to JIRA using REST endpoint so that it creates a ticket in JIRA everytime a user submits a form. I was trying to write groovy script for mapping a multi-select field. But it is not executing successfully. Can you please advice with a script for mapping multi select fields from confluence form to jira fields?

Thanks,

Padma Kothakota.

Hi @PADMA KOTHAKOTA 

What would be useful is if you could supply the JSON that you're trying to use, as well as the error message that is returned.

Could I also confirm that the problem that you're having is when you're trying to submit the REST API call to Jira?

I've created a Select List (multiple choices) customfield in Jira and put some data into that field for a specific ticket. When I GET the data for it, this is the format of that field

 "customfield_14580": [
{
"value": "Option C",
},
{
"value": "Option B",
}

so this is probably the format that you should be using when trying to create a ticket
