Custom Field ID lookup

[Jacques B]

Good day,

A previous administrator wrote the script below as part of a Transition.

if(issue.fields.customfield_10296.value=="Yes" && issue.fields.customfield_10310.value!="Yes")
return;

How can I lookup which Custom Field customfield_10296 refers to?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jacques B ,

In addition to the answer of @Vikrant Yadav , you can also just

• go to your custom fields in your instance.
• Open any random field configuration and then just change the ID in the url bar.

After that the correct field configuration will load and you can see what it relates to :)

e.g: https://yourhostname/secure/admin/ConfigureCustomField!default.jspa?customFieldId=13416

If you do it that way just remove the "customfield_" part

Thank you, this is very simple!

Hi @Jacques B You can run following API url in browser,  to get Field Name by searching field by Field ID :- 

For Server/DC :- https://jira.yordomain.com/rest/api/2/field

For JIRA Cloud :- https://powerusers.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/field

you will get complete information of a field, convert json data in csv to get complete list of custom field along with field id and field type  :- 

{"id":"customfield_10032","key":"customfield_10032","name":"Field 4","untranslatedName":"Field 4","custom":true,"orderable":true,"navigable":true,"searchable":true,"clauseNames":["cf[10032]","Field 4","Field 4[Number]"],"schema":{"type":"number","custom":"com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:float","customId":10032}},

Hi @Vikrant Yadav 

I am trying to use this API call in some code so I can pull the most up to date info on these custom fields. 

https://jira.yordomain.com/rest/api/2/field

I am getting a 400 response on a simple get request which tells me I am not passing the correct headers. Do you happen to know what headers I would need to pass to access this data through a python script?

This is my request: 

import requests

url = "https://jira-gpd.gm.com:8443/rest/api/2/field"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json",
           "Accept Encoding": "deflate"}

response = requests.get(url, headers = headers)

print(response)

The following is what is printed 
<Response [400]>

Update: I am now getting a 200 response after creating a PAT and passing that with the Authorization header.

If you're on Cloud and you don't want to futz with API calls or inspecting with your browser tools, my app, Admin Pro for Jira, makes this information easily available to admins and non-admins alike. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/3804509124/admin-pro-for-jira

Admins get full field details that are not included in the standard Jira UI, and Work Items/Issues get a View Field ID's button to see all fields IDs on the current Work Item/Issue.
