Update Issue
update_issueUpdate specific fields of an existing MantisBT issue, such as summary, status, priority, or resolution, without modifying other fields.
Instructions
Update one or more fields of an existing MantisBT issue using a partial PATCH.
The "fields" object accepts any combination of:
summary (string)
description (string)
steps_to_reproduce (string)
additional_information (string)
status: { name: "new"|"feedback"|"acknowledged"|"confirmed"|"assigned"|"resolved"|"closed" }
resolution: { id: 20 } (20 = fixed/resolved)
handler: { id: <user_id> } or { name: "" }
priority: { name: "<priority_name>" }
severity: { name: "<severity_name>" }
reproducibility: { name: "<reproducibility_name>" }
category: { name: "<category_name>" }
version: { name: "<version_name>" } (affected version)
target_version: { name: "<version_name>" }
fixed_in_version: { name: "<version_name>" }
view_state: { name: "public"|"private" }
Important: when resolving an issue, always set BOTH status and resolution to avoid leaving resolution as "open".
