# Update an issue

`PUT /repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/issues/{issue_id}`

> **Deprecated.**

Modifies the issue.

```
$ curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repostories/evzijst/dogslow/issues/123 \
  -u evzijst -s -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "title": "Updated title",
  "assignee": {
    "account_id": "5d5355e8c6b9320d9ea5b28d"
  },
  "priority": "minor",
  "version": {
    "name": "1.0"
  },
  "component": null
}'
```

This example changes the `title`, `assignee`, `priority` and the
`version`. It also removes the value of the `component` from the issue
by setting the field to `null`. Any field not present keeps its existing
value.

Each time an issue is edited in the UI or through the API, an immutable
change record is created under the `/issues/123/changes` endpoint. It
also has a comment associated with the change.
