update and fields. The fields that can be set in the issue or subtask are determined using the Get create issue metadata. These are the same fields that appear on the issue's create screen.

Single line custom fields (textfield) accept a string and don't handle Atlassian Document Format content.issueType must be set to a subtask issue type (use Get create issue metadata to find subtask issue types).parent must contain the ID or key of the parent issue.Request Request Example
