All params should be sent in the ticket namespace, e.g.:

XML

<ticket>
  <summary>FixMeAgain</summary>
  ...
</ticket>

JSON

{"ticket":{"summary":"FixMeAgain",...}}

Query string

ticket[summary]=FixMeAgain&...

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.:

• XML, replace whitespaces with dashes - “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”:

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, an integer can’t be a valid XML tag

For update operations no response body is available, to get the data of updated resource send a GET request to the same URL, i.e.:

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer _token" https://api.assembla.com/v1/spaces/_space_id/tickets/_number.(xml|json)
