Add Custom field option using post function

Question

Hi,

Is there any post function in jira cloud, to add new option to custom field.

I have text field like customer name. I want to add this customer name to select list as an new option.  Is there any plugin for same?

Or alternative can we have custom field with the list of options of customer name text field. I can create filter and provide the filter name as input for the custom fields. so it should get the all values of customer name field and display it as options.

Any suggestions on these.

Thank you in advance.

If the custom field and its context are predefined and not expected to change per request, you can add a new option using Jira’s API for creating custom field options. You can refer to the official documentation here.

To automate this, use the Send web request action in Jira Automation to trigger the API call. Let me know if you need any help setting this up.
