Retrieve fields using /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta that aren't on the screen

Question

Hi,

How can I retrieve all the fields related to a project/issuetype that aren't on the screen.

Currently I am using this method "/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta" but it only retrieves the fields that are on the screen

I have this requirement but I am stuck on it.

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,

Hello Jivago,

You can try this: rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}

But you have to create an issue first, i think is not possible to get all field by issuetype or project.

You can look at this page for more informations or examples: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/?_ga=2.61178217.456026072.1536145241-408726963.1529654643#api/2/issue-getIssue

Sorry my english is not my native langage. Let me know if it's ok for you.

Hope it will help

Kind regard

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for your help! The editmeta has the same limitation as the createmeta, it only lists the fields that are in the screen.

"The fields in the editmeta correspond to the fields in the edit screen for the issue. Fields not in the screen will not be in the editemeta."

I'd like to list the fields that aren't inthe screen as well, do you have some suggestion?
