What does cf[13524] mean in the query? How to find it out what does the number stands for?

Lawrence_j3cpev

I look at some of peoples query contains  "cf[xyzvw]", where x, y, z, v, z are digits between 0 and 9. What does those number 'xyzvw' represent? Why people use those number in the "cf[]"? How to find out the mean of those numbers as a non-administrator?  For example,

project = 15100 AND issuetype in ("Defect TRACKER") AND status in (Submitted, Assigned, "Defect Submitted", Accepted) AND cf[14836] in ("CS 09.0.00", EMPTY)

Thank you,

Lawrence

Hi @Lawrence ,

xyzvw represents custom field id. You can either use this id or custom field name in JQL.

If I'm not Jira administrator, I use REST API to get basic information about custom field.

After you log in to Jira, insert this URL to the browser:

https://your-instance-url/rest/api/2/field

You should get JSON with custom fields and if you search xyzvw through these data, you should be able to find your custom field's properties.
