{
	"update": {
		"customfield_aaaaa": [
			{
				"set": [
 						  {
    					 	"name":"Item",
  						    "checked":false,
      						"mandatory":true,
      						"id":3,
      						"globalItemId":1,
      						"rank":0,
      						"assigneeIds":[      
      										],
      						"isHeader":false,
