PUT Request - UPDATE ROW

When you want to change certain rows of your table, you need to use the following API call configuration:

• URL: https://yourjiraURL.xyz/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/data/customField/{{customFieldId}}/issue/{{issuekey}}/row/row/ID

• Headers:

  • Your type of authorization

  • Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8;

  • Accept: application/json;

• You can get the row ID from the GET request, looking at the "id" of the row you want to modify.

• URL example: http://localhost:8080/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/data/customField/25504/issue/KEY-4/row/123

• With the GET request you can also see all the available fields and the structure of the table data. When you have drop-down, text or user columns, you only need the "field-1" part of the body. The "field-1-html" or "field-1-name" is not needed and will be added automatically. At the end of the body you don't need to add the custom field ID and the issue ID.

• Example body: {"field-1": "Customer 7", "field-3": [2], "field-5": "anorth", "field-6": [8]}
  This structure is simply retrieved from the GET request and you only modify the fields that you want to change. In this example, field-1 is a text field, field-3 and field-6 are select lists and field-5 is a user picker.

• For select list it is possible to use just "field-1-name": [“option1“, “option2“].

• Please make sure to include all the used columns of your row in your PUT request. Missing columns will be overwritten with empty values!
