Is there a way to get the workflow name for an issueType in a project using the JIRA REST API?

ahmed bajra

As far as I understood, workflows can be assigned to issueTypes of specific projects, but how can the workflow, or rather its name, be retrieved?

Is it even possible using the REST API?

If so, does it require admin permissions?

 

What I've tried so far:

GET /rest/api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey}/statuses => doesn't return the workflow name, just the statuses used within the workflow

GET /rest/api/2/workflow => returns all workflows instead of just the one I'm looking for and requires admin permissions and I'd rather not use them (at the moment, at least)

GET /rest/projectconfig/1/workflowscheme/{projectKey}  => returns a 404 for some reason

Hello Ahmed,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

On JIRA Cloud API Documentation, we have the following Calls: 

1 - Get workflow for issue type in workflow scheme

Returns the issue type-workflow mapping for an issue type in a workflow scheme:

GET /rest/api/3/workflowscheme/{id}/issuetype/{issueType}

2 - Get workflow for issue type in draft workflow scheme

Returns the issue type-workflow mapping for an issue type in a workflow scheme's draft.

GET /rest/api/3/workflowscheme/{id}/draft/issuetype/{issueType}

 

Can you adapt it for your JIRA Server instance and check if you are able to get the information you are looking for?

For more details about it, check the documentation below:

- JIRA REST API Reference
