Updating Select List Custom Field - Jira Python
jira, jira-rest-java-api, python
Solution
Try it like this:
issue.update(fields={'customfield_10100': {'value':'Two'}})
or like this:
issue.update(fields={'customfield_10100': {'value','Two'}})
I am not sure which one will work out for you because I never worked with Python, but one of them should work.
Problem
I have a custom field named "Status" with an id of 10100 which is a select list with optional values of "One", "Two", "Three" and "Four". Default value is "One". I am writing a JIRA python script to update the value of this field conditionally. Say if the existing value is "One", it should be changed to "Two". This is my code. ``` from jira.client import JIRA jira_options={'server': 'http://localhost:8080'} jira=JIRA(options=jira_options,basic_auth=('usrname','pwd')) for issue in jira.search_issues(' cf[10100] = "One" '): issue.update(fields={'customfield_10100': 'Two'}) ``` It's giving me the following error. ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 11, in <module> issue.update(fields={'customfield_10100': 'Two'}) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\jira\resources.py", line 193, in update super(Issue, self).update(**data) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\jira\resources.py", line 72, in update raise_on_error(r) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\jira\exceptions.py", line 29, in raise_on_ error error = errorMessages[0] IndexError: list index out of range ``` Could you please tell me what might be wrong? I had used the same syntax for editing a custom field of type text field and it had worked fine.
