I’m trying to set a user in a custom field of type “user picker” using the Atlassian SDK for C#.

When I try to add the user just like any other field it is set in code but not on Jira. And in another request (for a transition) Jira responds with Field Reviewer is required.

Here is what I’ve tried so far…

JiraUser? user = await issue.Jira.Users.GetMyselfAsync(cancellationToken);
issue[field.Name] = user.AccountId;

and

var putFields = new
{
    fields = new
    {
        customfield_10824 = new[]
        {
            new
            {
                accountId = user.AccountId
            }
        }
    }
};

await issue.Jira.RestClient.ExecuteRequestAsync(RestSharp.Method.PUT, $"/rest/api/2/issue/{issue.Key}", putFields, cancellationToken);

and with the CustomFields

issue.CustomFields.AddById(field.Id, user.AccountId);
//issue.CustomFields.Add(field.Name, user.AccountId);
