Get Teams through Jira v2 Rest API

Question

Hello. I am looking for a way to get the team information from a Jira Cloud instance. I am trying to add the ability for users to edit the `Team` field from outside of Jira.

When performing a JQL query for an issue, `allowedValues` is not provided for the `Team` field. Also, I have tried using the experimental custom field options and context endpoint but that doesn't work.

Is there a way, or a workaround, for getting the teams that exist in a Jira Cloud instance??

Let's check if the field is supported by the REST API using the how-to article linked below.  Basically you identify an issue that has your Team field, and then call the REST API with a browser.  If you can find your field, you would know the smart value and custom field id for it.  If you do not see it, the field may not be supported by the public functions.

If that does not help, you could also post this question in the developer community area to see what they suggest: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/

@Bill Sheboy  To be honest, I'm not sure what the differences are? I'm referring to the teams that you can create by hovering over the team dropdown on the top left and clicking "Create Team". These are the teams that display for the Team custom field

Hi @Hassan Rachid

I recall from other community posts there are several different things in Jira Cloud called "Team".  Which one do you mean: advanced roadmaps, project scope, something else?  Knowing that may help the community to offer suggestions.  Thanks!

Kind regards,
