Is there Connect App Custom Fields compatibility with next-gen projects?

[Cody Robson]

I'm experimenting with creating some jira custom fields using Connect Apps using the provided module here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/modules/issue-field/

The custom fields can be added from the screen settings for an issue fairly easily, but there doesn't appear to be a way to add these fields to next-gen projects. 

Presumably, the issue is related to the fact that screens and fields are managed entirely within the scope of a next-gen project, so they don't have access to custom fields defined outside the scope. 

Is there a way to add custom fields defined in an atlassian connect app to a next-gen project?

Hi @Cody Robson ,

I believe this topic has already been discussed in the below thread in the Developers Community:

• Jira Cloud next-gen projects and Connect apps

There is no public REST API available to create project-scoped entities like issue types, statuses and custom fields:

• POST and PUT calls work as per contract when applied to classic project configuration objects. All write operations (create and update) will NOT work when operating on next-gen project entities.
• Ex: PUT https://hostname.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issuetype/10235/properties/color 2 If issue type 10235 is project-scoped this call will fail with a 400 or 500

Please review above thread and, in  case of any other question please follow-up in there.

Also, for the future, please notice that this is not the best place to get help on development  related questions. 

The right resources are listed in https://developer.atlassian.com/resources. 

Specifically:

• Ask the Developers Community
• Create a Developer Support Request

Cheers,
Dario
