What is the replacement rest api to get all fields using createmeta?

Question

Currently by using Jira 9.5 on-premise i am able to get response of createmeta for each issuetype using endpoint /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta/{projectId}/issuetypes/{issuetypeId} replacement for /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectIds={projectId}&issuetypeIds={issuetypeId}&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields.

But what is the replacement rest api endpoint for previously using endpoint /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectIds={projectId}&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields to get all fields of that project in the new Jira versions after Jira 9.0?

hi,

I have similar concerns, how can we continue to get the same information that createmeta use to provide

how would you do this with latest rest api ?

"jira/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys={project_key}&issuetypeNames={issue_type}&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields"

I have a similar question isn't there an endpoint that works for both? cloud and server instances ? because /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta/{projectId}/issuetypes/{issuetypeId} does not work in cloud versions also the REST Fields API does not support query by issueTypeId so I feel this is not consistent across all Jira documentation

I believe that he is referring to *this* reduction in functionality:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracore/createmeta-rest-endpoint-to-be-removed-975040986.html

The createmeta? endpoint's functionality was removed between 8.4 and 9.0, per the announcement. I'd call that a reduction.

Perhaps someone else can shed some light on replacement functionality instead of giving lessons in counting or other such pedantry.
