How to change assignee via JRJC?

[Wenbo Chao]

I could use REST API to change the assignee.

https://jiraserver:8443/rest/api/2/issue/AUTO-1281

put method

{

"fields": {

"assignee":{"name":"xxx"}

}

}

But in JRJC, get null when using issue.getFieldByName("assignee").

Issue resolved, should use HttpsUrlConnection to send JSON request NOT Http.

To Get Assignee, you will have to use issue.getAssignee() or issue.getAssigneeUser;

I want to change assignee via JRJC, not just issue.getAssignee.
