REST API - How to get fields from Issue Type?

Question

Hi everyone, I hope you're fine

I'm trying to perform some automations over my Jira instance using the REST API, I have perform another calls and all worked fine

The thing is, I haven't found how to get the fields related to a specific jira issue type?

Could you help me out? Please

Thanks for clarifying, Ian.

Context is helpful for what you describe, and so which functions (e.g., create, read, update, etc.) are you trying to perform for the issue type involved?  Looking at the specific REST API function documentation should indicate the supported fields.

Hi @Bill Sheboy sorry for not being clear

I'm performing API calls using PHP, not with the automation rules

Is required for my Jira to add a external web layer that will help with issue creation at Jira

I would like to know if there is an API REST call that could help me getting the fields related to a issue type (not request type, I've already got them) based on the issue type id

Please

Thanks in advance

P.D.: I've seen the documentation before but didn't found how to perform this...

Hi @Ian Carlos

Would you please clarify what problem you are trying to solve?  That may help the community to offer suggestions.

You describe using automation and the REST API functions.  To learn the fields supported by the REST API for automation rules, please see this how-to article: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

If you are instead calling the REST API functions another way, please look at the documentation for the specific function to learn what is needed/supported: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/intro/#introduction

Kind regards,
Bill
