create a new test case field, then update it with test values

[Jan Hordes]

We are creating an automated testing prototype using jira 6.2, zephyr 2.2 and zapi 1.0 on an evaluation jira instance.

This is what I have working:

1- create a project, version and test case on jira. When creating the test case I used the admin drop down to add some additional fields specific to our testing.

2 use zapi to create a test cycle and add that test case to the newly created test cycle

3 - reading test results and use zapi execute to update the test case using the execution id - PASS/FAIL

4 - I would now like to use zapi to update the additional fields that were created during step 1. I have used the zapi/latest/execution/{id}/execution api. I am getting a HTTP 200 OK, response, but I do not see the values getting updated on the test case screen. Is the the correct way to update fields, or is there another approach?

values=simplejson.dumps(results)

url= baseURL + '/rest/zapi/latest/execution/' + execId + '/execute'

request = Request(url, data=values, headers=headers)

request.get_method = lambda: 'PUT'

resp = urlopen(request).read()

Hi Jan,

Fields in the base Test issue will need to be updated using JIRA's REST API. ZAPI Only deals with Zephyr for JIRA-specific entities such as Test Steps, Cycles, and Executions. Basic fields in the test issue do not fall under this umbrella.

The URI you are using 'zapi/latest/execution/{id}/execution' is only used to update the execution of a single sheduled execution in a cycle.

The JIRA REST API for updating an issue is:
