JIRA Java API: how to add an issue type to a custom field?

unknown

Hi,

I can retrieve custom fields using the CustomFieldManager, and I can get the list of used issue types using the CustomField.getAssociatedIssueTypes() method.

But how can I *add* an IssueType to a CustomField ? I guess I need some form of persistence, but how ? Can anyone point me to existing articles/documentation?

 

thanks.

Hello @[deleted]

You can't just add an single issueTYpe to an custom field configuration, you have to add an "context" which contains list of projects/issueTYpes mapped to that custom field.

Please see some samples (using script runner - groovy)
