Value ID for Select List (cascading) in Cloud

Gregory Kremer_mx3rfi

Hi all,

Is there a way to download IDs for each and every value in the Select List (cascading) field? I have no problem getting those IDs "manually", one by one, but the field in question has too many values, which would take a significant amount of time to get the IDs and then document them. We are a Cloud-based Jira org, thus no access to the Db :-(. I'd greatly appreciate any advise.

Hi @Gregory Kremer

here's an idea: Create an issue that has the respective Select list field on it and make sure it is editable. Then call the REST endpoint for this issue, like

https://<your-jira-site>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/<your-issue-key>?expand=editmeta

In the result, you'll see a section "editmeta". Within that section, find your field, and within that field, find "allowedValues". This should contain all options of the field, with their ID.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

@Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira Thank you. I've got a bunch of info that I need to digest now :-).

Honestly, this method is not much better than doing it manually, since it requires to manually document those IDs anyway. I was looking for something more convenient. That being said, thank you very much for trying to help.

Yeah I know it's not ideal. To be fair, the JSON format that is returned by the REST endpoint is generally easy to process; e.g., if you use a JSON query like

editmeta.fields.<your-field-id>.allowedValues[*].id

you'd get your IDs:
