Setting FixVersion via REST 5.0.2

[Lee Correll]

I've got to be missing something simple here and I'm just not seeing it.

I'm attempting to use REST 5.0.2 to update a number of different issues - essentially, to put them into the same FixVersion / iteration from a flat file. Okay, so I'm looping around, calling the REST for each one, and I can update almost every field...except the FixVersion. I'm getting a "data is not an array" error, which leads me to believe that I need to pass it an array of FixVersions and set one as the correct FixVersion? That doesn't make any sense to me.

I've tried a number of different JSON configurations, all of which bombed (with some variant of the above.)

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

You need to send a single value as an array, so

{ "update":
{
"fixVersions":
[
{"set": [ {"id":"10000"} ] }
]

}
}

There is an example at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+REST+API+Example+-+Edit+issues#JIRARESTAPIExample-Editissues-Settingthecomponentsfield how to do it for the components field. It should work for versions equally

James is right, fixVersions is the field you need to replace for components in the tutorial. The field versions is for affected versions
