    "incantation": "When updating an issue’s field values, use `updateIssue` with `issueFieldUpdates`; each entry names the field and operation, and may include a value. Choose `ADD`, `CLEAR`, `REMOVE`, or `SET` according to the documented operation behavior.",
    "examples": [
      "mutation { updateIssue(input: { id: \"<issue-node-id>\", issueFieldUpdates: [{ fieldName: \"<field-name>\", operation: SET, value: \"<value>\" }] }) { issue { id } } }"
    ],

      "updateIssue.input.id (required): Node ID of the issue to modify.",
      "UpdateIssueInput.issueFieldUpdates: Issue field updates resolved by field and option names.",
      "IssueFieldUpdateInput.fieldName (required): Name of the issue field.",
      "IssueFieldUpdateInput.operation (required): Operation on the field value: `ADD` sets a scalar or adds multi-select options; `CLEAR` clears the value; `REMOVE` removes multi-select options; `SET` replaces the value.",
      "IssueFieldUpdateInput.value: Value or comma-separated option names for the operation."
