Need to get the information of a specific form field

[C0666379]

I have a very long form in Jira, whose fields are used in a variety of automations or API calls. Because of this, I often need to get the id of a specific field in the forms, but, as far as I know, the only way to do this, is to call this specific API:

https://api.atlassian.com/jira/forms/cloud/{{CloudID}}/project/{{ProjectKey}}/form/{{FormID}}

Doing this and then logging {{webResponse.body.design.questions}} gets me the list of fields and their respective information, like this:

{381={choices=[], description=, label=New annual membership fee, questionKey=NewAnnualFee, type=tl, validation={rq=false}}

The number at the beginning, in this case, 381, is the one I need. The problem is, because the form is so long, the response doesn't fit in Jira's log response, so I often can't see the info of the exact field that I need.

I imagine there must be a way to log just the info for the field with a specific label or questionKey, but I'm having trouble making it happen.

I've tried doing

{{#if(equals(questionKey. XXX))}}{{webResponse.body.design.questions}}{{/}}

but that just returns the whole thing again

Hi @C0666379 

If you have given this option in the form a Field Key, this should be possible, if the form is attached to an issue.

{{forms.last.<name_of_the_field_key>}}

Form smart values -> access-smart-values-for-forms-and-form-fields 

Also this API call might give you the options you need, https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/forms/rest/api-group-forms-on-customer-request/#api-request-issueidorkey-form-formid-format-answers-get

Problem is, the field key doesn't work for attachment fields, which are the ones I need. In order to get attachment, I need the actual ID of the field

Have you considered using something like Postman to get the field Id? The log action in Automations is limited in output, so I have used Postman to get the full output when needed. The flow will have access to the full response, you just can't output it to the audit log.

I have been doing it using postman, but it needs to be done in Jira itself because this value will be used later in the automation
