BIM 360 issue "Assigned To"

Question

how can I change "Assigned To" from specific user to unspecified? I used {name: '-'} mainly for my UI which is obviously not enough to be used as input, perhaps {id: '', name: '-'} or {id: null, name: '-'}?

thanks in advance and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We can specify null values to both assigned_to and assigned_to_type to remove the user from the issue and make it be unspecified.

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://developer.api.autodesk.com/issues/v1/containers/:issueContainerId/quality-issues/:issueId' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
--data-raw '{
    "data": {
        "type": "quality_issues",
        "id": "{{issueId}}",
        "attributes": {
            "assigned_to": null,
            "assigned_to_type": null
        }
    }
}'
