Update customfield with rest API

[Steven Vits]

I created a customfield 'CF_SingleChoice' wit a dummy 3 values in it.

Wat I do want to archieve is an automation to populate the choices on a regular base so I can use the choice field as a Dynamic Choice.

I understoor that there is no way of archieving this within Jira automation itself so I do want to try to post the values for the customfield using the rest API.

Using https://Intance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/field/10136 gives me a 405 method not allowed.

Anyone any suggestions please?

Thank you for your most appreciated reply @Nikola Perisic . 

The suggested articles are not usefull for this topic. I want to change a a choice field. when I do a get action to https://instance.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/field/

the part of the reply is:

{

        "id": "customfield_10136",

        "key": "customfield_10136",

        "name": "Test_V_SelectProject",

        "untranslatedName": "Test_V_SelectProject",

        "custom": true,

        "orderable": true,

        "navigable": true,

        "searchable": true,

        "clauseNames": [

            "cf[10136]",

            "Test_V_SelectProject",

            "Test_V_SelectProject[Dropdown]"

        ],

        "schema": {

            "type": "option",

            "custom": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:select",

            "customId": 10136

        }

    }

I do not see any relation to the options that should appear in the drop down when I use this customfield in an pop up of a manual action.

Updating the related choices is what I do want to achieve to be able to make the choices dynamic adaptable.

I managed once to update another customfield using the HTTP post action using next code in the field section:

"customfield_31415": [

      {

        "workspaceId": "a2f6f63d-e934-495d-fd64-126e959f61c9",

        "id": "a2f6b63d-f9f4-495d-ad64-126f959c61c9:60573",

        "objectId": "60573"

      }

    ]

As I see now I need to find the related choice values to br able to update them.

thanks in advance.
