How to get field type for component field using REST API?

SUNGSU AN

Hi Jira experts,

When a new issue is created under a project in Jira system, for some projects, 'components' field which is system field is set as mandatory but for other projects, it is set as optional.
So, when a user create new issue under a project in Jira system, I need to get this information so that I will ask a user to select a value in 'components' field.

I tried to change the REST API URL below to get the field type of 'components' field. But, I was not able to.

https://jira.*****.com/rest/api/latest/issue/createmeta/10103/issuetypes/10304/components

Would you please help how to change this URL to get this information from 'components' field?

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

The "field type" of the component/s field is "components".  It's a unique system field type, not a custom field type of which you can add many.
