Accessing Versions "Start Date" from Jira Software Cloud REST API

Mithra

Hi,

In Jira you can create versions and give them "Start Date" and "Release date":

I need to access those dates from the REST API. I found a call that looks perfect, except the "Start Date" field is missing for the results:

/rest/agile/1.0/board/11/version?maxResults=50&startAt=0&released=false

{ 
   "maxResults": 50,
   "startAt": 0,
   "isLast": true,
   "values": [ 
      { 
         "self": "https://<myinstance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/version/10006",
         "id": 10006,
         "projectId": 10005,
         "name": "V1",
         "description": "V1",
         "archived": false,
         "released": false,
         "releaseDate": "2019-04-28T00:00:00.000Z" 
      }, 
      {
         "self": "https://<myinstance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/version/10007",
         "id": 10007,
         "projectId": 10005,
         "name": "V2",
         "description": "V2",
         "archived": false,
         "released": false,
         "releaseDate": "2019-05-30T00:00:00.000Z"
      }
   ]
}

 Is there any way to get that missing field? Another API call? A hidden parameter? Some black magic maybe?

 

Thanks!

Hello Josselin,

I hope you are having a nice day.

You must use the Expansion feature in the JSON REST call to get the hidden parameter StartDate, however, this parameter is only available for Create Version or Update Version.

You can check the documentation below for more details:

- JIRA Rest API reference

Let me know if this information helps!
