How do i add multiple custom fields in one go

Question

Suppose I want to add 100 custom fields in Jira. How would I do it one go?

Part of my job is to review business processes and tools.  For a place using Jira for one purpose, 100 custom fields is the point at which I start to say "if you think you need these, you probably have a broken process".

Hi @Raj Learn

Natively in Jira Cloud, there isn't a method to do this.

I would envisage the easiest method to do this would be to utilise the API with the right permissions - see some base information on this on this developer page.

But I would suggest considering whether you need 100 custom fields. That is quite a large number and you need to consider whether users will utilise that many fields with relevant data.
