    Your Green Beans do need full sun and well draining soil.
    The soil should dry just slightly between waterings, you don't want the soil to stay soggy.
    Make sure the pot has a good drainage hole, so excess water can drain from the soil.
    When watering your beans, take care not to have the water splash onto the plants leaves. This can lead to fungal infections.

    Here is an article with more information.

    Container plantings need daily water and even twice a day when the weather is warm.
    You can provide some shading to the plants while they recover. Keep the soil evenly moist and wait and see. Young plants with small roots systems may not recover. If the roots are still healthy and you began to see active growth you saved the plants.

    Typically, when green bean plants begin to yellow, it's a sign of a bacterial infection or poorly draining soil. This article may help you positively identify what's going on and correct it:
