Delete an issue field value from an issue

DELETE

/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}/issue-field-values/{issue_field_id}

Remove a specific custom field value from an issue.

Only users with push access to the repository can delete issue field values. If you don’t have the proper permissions, you’ll receive a 403 Forbidden response.

If the specified field does not have a value set on the issue, this operation will return a 404 error.
