JSON is formatted here for readability, in a real response JSON body is inline with no indentation.

Note: If you want to add a value to a custom field, to identify the custom fields an ID or name should be provided, name should be formatted to match XML, JSON or query string acceptable format, i.e.:

• JSON, replace whitespaces with underscores - “Text Field” should be “Text_Field”
• XML, replace whitespaces with dashes - “Text Field” should be “Text-Field”
• Query string, replace whitespaces with underscores - “Text Field” should be “Text_Field”

Examples of valid custom fields body, considering ID of a custom field is “15” and its title is “Text Field”:

JSON:

{"ticket":{"custom_fields":{"Text_Field":"some value"}}}

{"ticket":{"custom_fields":{"15":"some value"}}}

XML:

<ticket>
  <custom-fields>
    <Text-Field>some value</Text-Field>
  </custom-fields>
</ticket>

XML does not support identifiyng custom fields by ID which is an integer, a integer can’t be a valid XML tag

Query string:

ticket[custom_fields][Text_Field]=some value

ticket[custom_fields][15]=some value

Note: pay attention to Location header, this is the URL where newly created resource is located, you can GET on this URL to access this resource.
