How do I set affects version/s using REST API?

[Linus Lindroth]

I can't figure out how to set the affects version/s using REST API to JIRA. Does anybody know?

It seems like we are suppose to use the field versions but use some kind of parameter called affects version? I can't find this anywhere in the REST API documentation.

My bad, it was a semicolon in the wrong place, this is the syntax

"versions": [
            {
                "id": "10000"
            }
        ],
....etc

Hey @Linus Lindroth,

Although this question was posted quite a while ago, I thought it is better off trying to reach out here than creating a new one. 

I am trying to create an issue using Rest API and affects version/s field is mandatory in our create issue screen. Tried using the above mentioned syntax but I get this

error {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"versions":"Version id '15911' is not valid"}} 

The id I used is from projectversion table,is that the right id? Also tried with name instead of id and got similar error.

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"versions":"Version name 'Example 1.3.1.4' is not valid"}}

How can Affect Version/s value be set?

Sorry but I no longer work with this so I don't know.

No problem. Thanks for responding! :)

Try this...

"versions": [

            {

                "name": "xxxxx"

            }

        ],

....etc

Hi Linus,

It would be a great help if you can share the entire api call you have been using for this
