Solved: JIRA REST API - how do I get columns from a filter

[Zakaria]

Hello ! 

so i am trying to get all the columns inside a filter using GET method but i dont know why its  not working :

for example i  want to get all the jira requests that are finished the filter id is : -5  so i am using :

"myhostnameUrl"/jira/rest/api/3/filter/-5/columns

my view URL is something like : http://"myhostnameUrl"/browse/DSUP?filter=-5  

what am i doing wrong ?

Thanks !

Filters do not have negative numbers for their ids, so -5 looks wrong to me.  I'd take a closer look at your url, and get the actual filter id (it's most likely to be a 5 digit positive number)

thanks for you answer

this is the link i have on my browser :

https://MyhostName/jira/issues/?filter=-5

and my request is something like this :

https://jira-int/jira/rest/api/3/issue/filter/-5

the -5 filter is the a default filter to give you all the open requests i dont know what is the problem i am sure there is something i dont understand

i created another filter tried this https://jira-int/jira/rest/api/2/filter/121530/ and its working like magic now but  https://jira-int/jira/rest/api/2/filter/121530/columns

is not working do you have any idea ? should i put the exact column i want or how ?

done fixed it for any one out there looking for an answer

the right command is :

https://"yourhostname"/jira/rest/api/2/filter/"the id of your filter "/

to get columns you must set your filter to listview  and then :

https://"yourhostname"/jira/rest/api/2/filter/"the id of your filter "/columns

hope it helped someone out there
