Pull Asset customfield data via Jira Issue API

[Reddy Girish]

I have added an Asset object as a customfield to my Jira issue. But when I call the Jira Issue Get API, only the asset object ID is returned. Is there a way for that API to return the actual asset object attribute data in the same call or do I need to make a separate call to Assets API?

I was hoping that the API works in the same way as Jira for Automation that allows smart values for both normal and asset customfields.

Hi @Reddy Girish,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

What you see is expected, the issue is only holding the asset key as a reference in the custom field, so you would have to use the API for Assets in order to get the value you are looking for.
