REST API POST Method's JSON Format for Issue Tracking Systems

The JSON format expected by POST must follow a certain format. The JSON must have a key identifier representing the issue's key that GET. POST JSON must be a simple structure without any array.

JSON sample:

    {
        " issueId ": "22809190",
        "publish": "N",
        "statusId": "92"
    }

In the previous sample, issueId, which is the key identifier, helps the POST end-point identify which Issue/Bug to update. The other two fields, publish and statusId, are updated with values supplied in the JSON.
