Get mandatory fields list via API

[Andrey Kuzmin]

Greetings.

Is there any way to list all mandatory fields for Issue Type in the Project via Java API?

[Andrey Kuzmin · Accepted solution]

Found out myself:

List<FieldLayoutItem> fieldLayoutItems = ComponentAccessor.getFieldLayoutManager().getFieldLayout(project, issueTypeId).getFieldLayoutItems();
for (FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem : fieldLayoutItems) {
    if (fieldLayoutItem.isRequired()) {
        ...
    }
}

I think that this is probably what you want:

(See the second section, "Discovering issue field data", and note that the fields specify whether or not they are "required".)

Thanks, Chris! But I was really looking for some Java API, not REST. Do you by any chance have this kind of information?

Oh, sorry... I hadn't seen your response until now. Glad you found the answer you needed.
