    <p>Using JIRA version 4.2. With Python 2.7 and suds 0.4, how can I update an issue's custom cascading select's field (both parent and child)?</p> <p>There is a <a href="http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+a+SOAP+Client" rel="nofollow">SOAPpy example</a> available under "Python (SOAPPy) client". I was <a href="https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/JCLIMD-9" rel="nofollow">unable to perform</a> this type of update using the <a href="https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/JCLIMD" rel="nofollow">Python JIRA CLI</a>.</p> <p>Example: When updating the cascading select custom child of parent field, customfield_10, one would want to update the field customfield_10_1.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Code to display cascading field's original value:</p> <pre><code>issue = client.service.getIssue(auth, "NAHLP-33515") for f in fields: if f['customfieldId'] == 'customfield_10050' or f['customfieldId'] == 'customfield_10050_1': print f </code></pre> <p>This results in:</p> <pre><code>(RemoteCustomFieldValue){ customfieldId = "customfield_10050" key = None values[] = "10981", } </code></pre> <p>After manually setting the cascading field's child, the above code results in:</p> <pre><code>(RemoteCustomFieldValue){ customfieldId = "customfield_10050" key = None values[] = "10981", } (RemoteCustomFieldValue){ customfieldId = "customfield_10050" key = "1" values[] = "11560", } </code></pre> <p><strong>The above values is what I hope to achieve via suds</strong>.</p> <p>Note the <em>key = "1"</em> field. The key value designates that this object is the child of customfield_10050.<br> <a href="http://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/beans/RemoteCustomFieldValue.html" rel="nofollow">Documentation reference</a>: <em>parentKey - Used for multi-dimensional custom fields such as Cascading select lists. Null in other cases</em></p> <p>Let's try sending a key field value:</p> <pre><code>client.service.updateIssue(auth, "NAHLP-33515", [ {"id":"customfield_10050", "values":["10981"]}, {"id":"customfield_10050_1", "key":"1", "values":["11560"]} ]) </code></pre> <p>This results in an error because the <a href="http://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/JiraSoapService.html#updateIssue%28java.lang.String%2C%20java.lang.String%2C%20com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.beans.RemoteFieldValue%5B%5D%29" rel="nofollow">updateIssue</a> accepts a <a href="http://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/beans/RemoteFieldValue.html" rel="nofollow">RemoteFieldValue</a>[] parameter, not a <a href="http://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/beans/RemoteCustomFieldValue.html" rel="nofollow">RemoteCustomFieldValue</a>[] parameter (<a href="http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+a+SOAP+Client?focusedCommentId=232555101#comment-232555101" rel="nofollow">thanks Matt Doar</a>):</p> <pre><code>suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'key' </code></pre> <p>So how do we pass a RemoteCustomFieldValue parameter to update an issue?</p> <p><strong>Update 2, mdoar's answer</strong></p> <p>Ran following code via suds:</p> <pre><code>client.service.updateIssue(auth, "NAHLP-33515", [ {"id":"customfield_10050", "values":["10981"]}, {"id":"customfield_10050_1", "values":["11560"]} ])` </code></pre> <p>After value:</p> <pre><code>(RemoteCustomFieldValue){ customfieldId = "customfield_10050" key = None values[] = "10981", } </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, this does not update the child of customfield_10050. Verified manually.</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>Thank you mdoar! To update a parent and child of a cascading select field, use the colon (':') to designate the child filed.</p> <p><strong>Working example:</strong></p> <pre><code>client.service.updateIssue(auth, "NAHLP-33515", [ {"id":"customfield_10050", "values":["10981"]}, {"id":"customfield_10050:1", "values":["11560"]} ]) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
