Request body

titlestring

actual_resultstring

severityinteger

milestone_idinteger nullable

attachmentsstring[]

custom_fieldobject

Custom field values keyed by the field's project-scoped internal_id (see GET /custom_field). Values are always scalar strings; arrays, objects or non-scalars are rejected.

Field type	Value format	Example
string, text	Plain string	"hello"
number	Numeric string	"42"
url	Valid URL	"https://qase.io"
datetime	Absolute date (ISO 8601 recommended)	"2026-04-29T15:00:00Z"
selectbox, radio	Option id as string	"1"
multiselect	Comma-separated option ids (no spaces)	"1,2,3"
checkbox	"1" to check, "" to uncheck	"1"
user	Team member internal_id as string	"42"

Partial update: only fields present in the payload are validated; required fields not included are not enforced. Send "" to clear a value. Unknown internal_ids are rejected; option-based values must reference an existing option.

Note: a required checkbox without a default cannot be unchecked via the API — set a default or clear required in workspace settings.
