Redmine

I am trying to updated an issue and some custom fields through the REST API (using REBOL).

I read the current issue data:

GET /issues.xml?key='ValidApiKey'&issue_id=122&include=journals HTTP/1.0

Then I modify the response to update the custom field ToDoNextStep and then send the follwing:

PUT /issues/122.xml?key='ValidApiKey' HTTP/1.0

Content-Type: text/xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><issue><id>122</id><project name="ToDo" id="2"/><tracker name="Support" id="3"/><status name="Ny" id="1"/><priority name="Normal" id="4"/><author name="Peter Carlsson" id="3"/><assigned_to name="Peter Carlsson" id="3"/><category name="REBOL" id="5"/><subject>Testar integrering med REBOL</subject><description>Kommer att anv&#228;ndas f&#246;r att testa att l&#228;sa och uppdatera fr&#229;n REBOL.</description><start_date>2011-03-30</start_date><due_date></due_date><done_ratio>0</done_ratio><estimated_hours></estimated_hours><custom_fields type="array"><custom_field name="ToDoState" id="1"><value>New</value></custom_field><custom_field name="ToDoNextStep" id="2"><value>Waiting</value></custom_field></custom_fields><created_on>2011-03-30T15:32:16+02:00</created_on><updated_on>2011-04-13T14:46:44+02:00</updated_on></issue>}

With log level set to DEBUG I get:

The custom field does not change but the updated_on field indicates that the issue was updated.

As far as I know the user have sufficient permissions.

Do I do something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
