Jira Server API expand Properties field

Question

Hi guys, I am using Jira Server API Search resource to get all issues on my company Jira. I am not a Jira admin.

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/search-search

I want to get the Properties of all issues using Search too. I can see in the output schema the properties along with other expandable fields like renderedFields, changelog, ... but when I input parameter expand = 'properties', it still do not return the properties of the issues.

I can get the properties for individual issues by using the resource api/2/project/{projectIdOrKey}/properties, but I really do not want to run this for every single issues I have, since it is very slow.

Any idea what I can do here? Thank you.

And also, I don't use Field API. I use Search API. As I understand, those are different, right?

Thanks for the answer, Nic. My mistake to call it a field, but I mean I just want to get the issue properties using Search resource. And since I see 'properties' in the output schema, I assume I can get it using the same resource

Properties are not a field, you can't use the field api to get them.  I'm afraid the properties call  on each individual issue you are making is the only way to get them.
