How to Assign a Programmatically Created Custom Field to Specific Issue Types and Screens in Jira?

[meir]

Hello Jira Community!

I've successfully created a custom field programmatically using the Atlassian Forge platform. Here's the script I've used:

import JiraApi from 'jira-client';
...
client.createCustomField(bodyData);

Now, I want to assign this custom field to specific issue types and screens. More specifically, I'd like to ensure that this custom field is available on a designated screen and that its values can be updated within a Jira issue.

Could anyone guide me on how to:

1. Programmatically assign the custom field to a specific screen.
2. Associate the field with specific issue types.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello, Good day. You can create custom field context to restrict the field to specific issue types. Kindly refer to the document : https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-custom-field-contexts/#api-rest-api-3-field-fieldid-context-defaultvalue-get & https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-custom-field-context/
