How to get Custom field options in Jira Server.

Hi,

Needing to get the options for custom fields in Jira Server. I am able to get a list of the custom fields and a single value for a custom field.

However, am not able to get the list of options for a custom field (customfieldID_XXXX).

I have trawled everywhere and cannot find a solution.

Any suggestions would be of great help.

Thanks.

Hi @Tim Benton Are you trying to get Field values/list of options using REST API ?

Thanks!

Hello @Tim Benton

How are you trying to get this information? Are you trying to get it with the API or the UI?

Hi, the REST API

REST API

This is not possible with REST API. There is no call for this. For the customFieldOption call you have to know the id, but it is at all returned when querying an issue.

Try this workaround :- https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-retrieve-available-options-for-a-multi-select-customfield-via-jira-rest-api-815566715.html

Thanks. Is there anyway other direct way to access the fields?

With ScriptRunner e.g. in the Console you could access the values - see https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/update-the-value-of-custom-fields-through-the-script-console

From the Rest API this looks like a proper way: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-retrieve-available-options-for-a-multi-select-customfield-via-jira-rest-api-815566715.html

for Jira Server:

If you know the project and the issuetype that the field was used, you can try:

https://{jirahost}/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys={projectKey}&issuetypeNames={issuetypeName}&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

If you know the issue that the field was used, you can try:

https://{jirahost}/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/editmeta

Good luck.
