Hi ,I am trying to get custom fields using my jql query and have tried various options mentioned on this site likehttps://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/JQL-query-to-pull-custom-fields/qaq-p/507920and using cf[10021] syntax etc... but i get an 'invalid glob at..." error.does anyone know what i might be doing wrong? need to get just one custom field. should i use the actual title of the custom field. i did a get on a specific jira item and verified the field i am retreiving is titled "ticket number" but has the id customfield_10021. also jira seems to return lots of other filds that i am not requesting like avatar, icn color etc... how do i get rid of these? i am only requesting id, assignee and status fields along with the custom field
also the title of the custom field has a '/' in it (like "ticket/ID"), so i am guessing will need to escape it with a '\' if i should be using the title instead...?
appreciate the assist.
JQL doesn't return fields, it just gives you a list of issues that match your question. You have to look at what you're using to read out the issue data and tell that what you want.
Take a look at https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/ and look for the section "Searching for issues and restricting the issue fields returned in the results"
It also shows you how to name the fields in your queries.

i was able to get the custom fields using the POST example at the link above
