Adding custom fields to screens/projects with REST API

Udi_Razmovitz

Hi guys.

I am now working on creating custom fields with REST.

I managed to create fields, and options etc.

What I cannot find - I want to add the fields to screens of a specific project, that is related to a specific issue type.

I cannot find how to get the screen ids of screens in a project or issue type.
I am reading the REST documentation, but cannot find any way to do so.

Please advise.

Thanks, Udi.

Hello @Udi_Razmovitz ,

If this is for Jira Cloud, then I can only find the below endpoint:

• Add field to default screen
  

  Add field to default screen

  POST /rest/api/3/screens/addToDefault/{fieldId}

  Adds a field to the default tab of the default screen.

   

However, the above endpoint seems to be only adding the desired field to the default screen.

Searching a bit more about this I have found below thread in which they say it should not be possible at this current point in time:

• https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/adding-issue-field-to-project-create-screen-with-rest-api/865
• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JIRA-API-Create-Issue-with-custom-field/qaq-p/1126615

 

However, since the information in above threads might be outdated, I would advise to go ask the developers community instead.

 

Cheers,
Dario
