Is there any way to add components to jira issue using python jira client?

[subramanyakrishna]

I was working on a project where I have to update jira issue fields like components , epic links,etc.
I am using jira python client to do this task.

ticketObj = authJira.issue('ABC-12345')
print(ticketObj.fields.components)

This is outputing below results

[]

Because components is a array
So If want to update a field in the jissue I have to do the below things

ticketObj.update(components = ['component 1'])

But this method is giving below error

JiraError HTTP 400 url: https://jira.yourdomain.com/rest/api/2/issue/1234567
	text: Can not instantiate value of type [simple type, class com.atlassian.jira.rest.api.issue.FieldOperation] from JSON String; no single-String constructor/factory method (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.issue.IssueUpdateBean["update"])
	
	response headers = {...}
	response text = {"errorMessages":["Can not instantiate value of type [simple type, class com.atlassian.jira.rest.api.issue.FieldOperation] from JSON String; no single-String constructor/factory method (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.issue.IssueUpdateBean[\"update\"])"]}

can you try following

ticketObj.update(fields={"components":['component 1']})

Thanks a lot for replaying but It gave me another traceback, It's asking expected objects but not understanding which object I should create for that? Should I escalate a issue?
