How to create custom fields in JIRA, and fetch the fields' data to external program?

ODesh

I want to create a custom text field in user stories of JIRA. Once the custom field is created, when someone inserts/updates the custom field, I want to fetch the data on custom field to an external program in any format (i.e. String, JSON, .doc, .xls, .csv etc.)

Thanks in Advance,

This will show you how to add a custom field (there is a toggle in the top right for Cloud / Server).

Using the REST API, you can get the data for any Jira (standard or custom) field - see the documentation here.

I hope this helps

Thanks Warren. Can I add a custom field if I am not a JIRA Administrator?

No, custom fields are not project specific, so you will need to be a Jira Admin (not project Admin) to be able to do this
