Assets with Jira REST API

Assets supports assigning Assets objects to issues via the Jira REST API. You will find examples on how to do this below.

Create Issue

URI:   /rest/api/2/issue

As you can see below, you will have to use the key attribute to define the Assets object keys, when creating Issues with Assets custom field values.

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       {
          "key": "TEST"
       },
       "summary": "REST ye merry gentlemen.",
       "description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Task"
       },
       "customfield_10100" : [{"key" : "TEST-1"}],
       "customfield_10200" : [{"key" : "TEST-1"}, {"key" : "TEST-2"}]
   }
}

Update issue

URI:  /rest/api/2/issue/[issueKey]

This is an example of setting an Assets object to a specific Assets custom field. Use the attribute set to define the Assets object keys

{
    "update" : {
        "customfield_10200" : [{"set": [{"key" : "TEST-1"}]}]
    }
}

This is an example of adding an Assets object to the existing connected ones. Use the attribute add to define the Assets object keys

{
    "update" : {
        "customfield_10200" : [{"add": [{"key" : "TEST-2"},{"key" : "TEST-3"}]}]
    }
}

This is an example of removing an Assets object from the existing connected ones. Use the attribute remove to define the Assets object keys

{
    "update" : {
        "customfield_10200" : [{"remove": [{"key" : "TEST-2"}]}]
    }
}

All Assets custom fields are using arrays of keys, even if you only work with single Assets custom fields. In that case, the array will only contain a list of one (1) Assets object.
