How to identify Zephyr Test and XRay-Test uniquely

Question

Hello Team,

We have to identify Zephyr Test issue type uniquely when only Zephyr plugin is installed and enabled in Jira.
How we can achieve this ?

We have to identify XRay-Test and Zephyr Test uniquely when both XRay and Zephyr plugin is installed and enabled in Jira.
How we can achieve this ?

We cannot use name, description of Issue Type as this can be editable by admin any time. We cannot use Issue Id also as this can change based on the instance.

@Tasktop Admin It seems you are on Jira Cloud.

If so, and you can use the Jira Cloud REST API, then you should be able to obtain the custom fields associated with a given issue type ID.

Hello @Aron Gombas _Midori_ : Thanks for the reply. In our API we have limited information like Issue Type id and Name, using this Issue Type id can we get the fields and custom fields? I know we can get fields by Issue Id, but we have only Issue type Id.

In a similar situation, we checked the custom fields of the issue!

Zephyr has its specific custom field types (for Test Steps, as far as I remember) and Xray also has its own ones.
