Extracting pre-populated values from custom field using groovy script and REST API

Aditya Sharma_pp2581

Hi,

I want to extract a custom field value present in various sub-tasks related to a particular issue. How to achieve that programmatically?

For example:

I have a story XYZ and it has 2 sub-tasks XYZ-1 and XYZ-2 and each of the sub-task has a custom field that is pre-populated.

How to extract those custom field values using the REST API programmatically?

I need to scale it for a large number of stories and it's corresponding sub-stories/sub-tasks

hi @Aditya Sharma are you using server or cloud? If it is server,you can use java API.

Hi @Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__

I am using server instance. Can you please elaborate and share some link of the resources.

Thanks

hi @Aditya Sharma sure, but can you desribe your use case in detail? Do you need to get data from some integrated system (that's why you need REST API), or you need to get required information in some "internal" Jira functionality (postfunction, validator, listener)?

Hi @Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__

The use case is as follows:

I have a project in Jira under which I have several stories and associated sub-tasks.

My requirement is to read values from custom fields from all the sub-tasks having those custom fields, also every sub-task is associated with one of the stories in the project during a sprint cycle.

For each sprint cycle, I want to perform this operation where I read the custom field value at the Sub-task level. for all the stories.

I am relatively new to Jira. I don't know to which category this type of operation belongs to.

Thanks,

Aditya
