Powershell rest api update custom field

Question

Hi

I am battling to get to grips with the rest api.

I am using the below PowerShell script which does not throw any exceptions

can anybody shed some light on my dilemma

The full story:  { I am using powershell to identify status changes in Web help Desk database, and create issues in JIRA for my KANBAN board ( Via the rest api) the response from Jira is the issue number Just created,

I now want to update Web Help Desk "ticket custom field"   with this JIRA ticket Number.}

any help appreciated

Thanks

$definitionId = "33"

$restValue = "E1245"

$uri = 10.5.67.159/.../

$body = @{

definitionId=$definitionId

restValue=$restValue

$jsonBody = ConvertTo-Json $body

$resp =  Invoke-RestMethod -uri $uri -Method Put -body $jsonBody -ContentType "application/json"

$cat = $resp.id

write-host " key = $resp.id"

------------------------

after execution returns The Id of the ticket as expected, but no update happens

I get the info I deem necessary from this command line in chrome, I also use to inspect if my update has worked

103.52.67.159/.../

which returns details of the ticket to viewing pane  Ticket id = 36566

{"id":36566,"type":"Ticket","bccAddresses":null,"ccAddressesForTech":null,"departmentId":null,"lastUpdated":"2014-11.................":"TicketCustomField","definitionId":31,"restValue":"23333"},{"id":15947,"type":"TicketCustomField","definitionId":32,"restValue":"Accounting / Financials"},{"id":18080,"type":"TicketCustomField","definitionId":33,"restValue":"233332"},{"id":

Hi I had forgotten about this, I did manage to get a script kinda working, bet then stopped using Jira as our Kanban Board.

I have attached a skeleton of what I did in the chance it may help someone.

I used a task schedule to run a powershell script every now and then,  this queried a custom table I had placed in WHD ( Trigger off a field of the ticket when filed changed)  I used an  .ini file to supply all run parameters something like below

############################################################
##  configuration file for Jira  reporting from WHD
##
##  Double Hash ##  in line disables the line content
##
##
############################################################

#Server - yourserverip
 #User - suername
 #DB_Name - whd
 #pword - password
 #Log_File - C:\WHD\log\whd_Log.txt
 #Template - C:\WHD\Report\WHD_TEMPLATE_02.xlsx
 #workDir - C:\WHD\Work

## #SMTPserver - smtpserverip  -for production machine
 #SMTPserver - smtp.testip   -testing on za domain

##  a list of area's and associated Users that should be processed
##  lemail adress seperated by comma's in one line

# #Area_User_list : xxxxxxx@melitan.co.za ,yyyyyyyE@melitan.co.za

script a bit long but attached a link
