Hi

What you ask is more related to how to use Jira REST APIs

And the error you see tells you that there are no such fields on your Jira projects like affectedservices, acceptance and statuscategory

And therefore those cannot be set from ConfiForms or from anywhere else

Hi Alex,

I have used Another jira ticket key to fetch the ticket information data but unable to fetch Acceptance and status and rest all fields, I have a small doubt is i am using correct field type to fetch data from jira??

Hi Alex,

After adding all fields to fetch the data from Jira i was facing the below issue.

• Rendering of ConfiForms Form contents has failed: RuntimeException occurred while performing an XHTML storage transformation (null)

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

That is because the field names are not correct - there is no such field in Jira as "acceptance". If that is a custom field then it usually has a name that is constructed by "customfield_XXX" where XXX it's ID

We have a helper service that could help you to figure out field's name
