How to store Project Budget Information in Jira?

[vinay kumar]

I am given a requirement in which I need to display 'Budget', 'Remaining budget' etc information in a dashboard.
I need to fetch all this information using JIRA REST API.
I want to know:
(1)How and where Budget related information is stored in Jira 'without the help of any JIRA plug-in'.
(2)How to fetch this data using Jira API.

Thanks

Hello vinay,

In jira withou add-ons you can only store information at issue level, projects only have the default fields.

If you really do not want any add-on, I would suggest creating a "project of projects" where you create a project with issuetype project and you store that information in those "issues" If you are open to try add-on I would recomend profields, which has API REST that you can use.

ciao, 

I also had to face your problem and at the beginning I started developing something with Script Runner, in the end I guarantee you do a better job using plugins, try https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218792 now / project-budget-for-jira but if you want to get the top, then the plugin to use is time budgets.
