Manager field in rest API

Question

Hi all

I'm trying to automate the approval workflow to populate the approver with the 'Manager' property from Atlassian Home/Jira Profile - I've connected this attribute via my IDP (Azure).

Can this attribute not be queried via the Rest API?

I did enrol in an add-in from the Marketplace but much to my annoyance it requires an additional connection to my IDP, presumably because the existing attribute can't be queried by the API?

Thanks in advance

Thanks @Vijay Dadi That's useful to know.

Unfortunately we don't have JSM Premium at the moment so don't have the cmdb available.

Hello @Sam Evans ,

There is no need to enroll for an app from market place. The way we achieved this is , we have created a asset schema in JSM cmdb with a feed from workday along with all the necessary field along with manager. We use an automation to pick up manager from this asset schema to tag a manager as an approver. hope this helps.
