update custom field rest api

[CyberSage]

how do I update an existing custom field with rest API remotely? 

I need to replace field name (current value is "vector 1") or field description with a new string passed by the rest client as a parameter.

how would the rest request look like? can not find it in docs. 

thanks. 

here is the custom field obtained by the api: 

rest/api/2/issue/TM-196/editmeta

• "customfield_10405":{
  • "required":false,
  • "schema":{
    • "type":"option",
    • "custom":"com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:select",
    • "customId":10405
    },
  • "name":" vector 1",
  • "fieldId":"customfield_10405",
  • "operations":[
    1. "set"
    ],
  • "allowedValues":[
    1. {
       • "self":"http://10.0.110.9:8080/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/10300",
       • "value":"Yes",
       • "id":"10300"
       },
    2. {
       • "self":"http://10.0.110.9:8080/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/10301",
       • "value":"No",
       • "id":"10301"
       }
    ]
  },

Hi @CyberSage

I am pretty sure you do not have the option to update the name of a custom field in Jira via the REST API. You can create them though.

Jira v8.12.1 server REST API documentation

Jira cloud REST API documentation

Hope this helps you further.

Langhom, thank you.

does Jira server support creating custom rest API?

updateCustomField from Jira library is able to update the custom field.

how about exposing the method via a custom rest API?
