Set Component field through REST API

[Harigovindan GS]

We are migrating bugs from Bugzilla to Jira,for that

We are trying to set Component while creatinng a bug in Jira through REST API

Below is my Json request in groovy(Plugins is the component name i want to set which already exist i tried to give its id also by getting meta data):

json.fields() {

project {

key issueAttr.projectKey

}

summary issueAttr.summary

description issueAttr.description

issuetype {

name issueAttr.issueType

}

customfield_10102 issueAttr.bugzillaUrl

assignee {

name issueAttr.assignee

}

priority {

name issueAttr.priority

}

components: [{

name "Plugins"

}]

}

when i print json object it did not contain component field

{

"fields": {

"project": {

"key": "WAT"

},

"summary": "Bug 18728: Identify new API calls (XML-RPC) in Nessus v5.0",

"description": "Identify new API calls (XML-RPC) in Nessus v5.0",

"issuetype": {

"name": "Bug"

},

"customfield_10102": "http://bugs.redseal.net/show_bug.cgi?id=18728",

"assignee": {

"name": "shreyaskn"

},

"priority": {

"name": "Trivial"

}

This syntax works for me,

"components": [{"name":"Component1"}]

I wish they would have included this in the API documentation!
