PUT /rest/api/2/app/field/{fieldIdOrKey}/value

Updates the value of a custom field on one or more issues.

Apps can only perform this operation on custom fields and custom field types declared in their own manifests.

Permissions required: Only the app that owns the custom field or custom field type can update its values with this operation.

The new write:app-data:jira OAuth scope is 100% optional now, and not using it won't break your app. However, we recommend adding it to your app's scope list because we will eventually make it mandatory.
