Create an option for a single choice customfield via API REST

[Patricia González]

Hi,

I want to create an option for a single choice custom field via RES API.

In the documentation it seems it's possible with this: 

Create custom field options (context)

POST /rest/api/3/field/{fieldId}/context/{contextId}/option

But the response i get is:

Invalid request payload. Refer to the REST API documentation and try again.

Here is the code i'm trying:

Thanks!

hello @Patricia González  ,

The payload you are providing seems wrong. 
You should provide something like:

"options": [ { "disabled": false, "value": "Scranton" }]

BODY PARAMETERS

Details of the options to create for a custom field.

options

Array<CustomFieldOptionCreate>

Details of options to create.

CustomFieldOptionCreate → { "value": "<string>", "optionId": "<string>", "disabled": true }

You can see the example here

and the return code if everything went fine will be http 200, not 204 ;)

Hi @robert Mugabuhamye,

I tried what you suggested, but it didn`t work either. 

(I'm using scriptrunner btw).

Thanks! 

[robert Mugabuhamye]

you should try something like 

result = post(url)

.header("Content-Type", application/json)

.body(

     [options:[[disabled:false,value:"scranton"]]]

)

Hi,

Scriptrunner support provided me with a example code to do this.

It can be found here.
