Jira rest api does not return Story Points

Question

Hi,

I wanna get list of fields for specific issue type from specific project. To do that I am using

/rest/api/3/issue/createmeta?expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

It returns most of the fields for the issue type but for some reason does not return "Story Points" and "Status" fields. Could you please explain why so or how can I get full list of fields for specific issue type?

@Thomas Magny-Garcia The question is if we do not have status field in createmeta API response, how do we know if it is indeed there in Create Issue screen since fields can be removed from screens?
How to retrieve the available status is a question that follows.

Hi @volkovich ,

Maybe the "Status" field is not reachable this way. According to the doc (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/#api-rest-api-3-project-projectIdOrKey-statuses-get), to get all statuses you should use

GET /rest/api/3/project/{projectIdOrKey}/statuses

It may be the same for story points, another location to look for ?

Hope it helps!
