Add manual test steps for Xray in Jira automation rule

[Christopher Dick]

Hello there,

when executing an automation rule in Jira to add Xray test steps to a test, the following error message appears: "Unknown fields set during creation. These may not be available for the project/type. Check your configuration for custom fields. Fields ignored - Epic Name (customfield_10004)."

The JSON template from the Xray documentation was used: https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAY/Tests+-+REST

Probably a different number was used for customfield_10004 in our Jira cloud. How can we find out this number?

Best regards,

Christopher

Hi @Christopher Dick 

The docu link provided in your original post links to Server-DC. According to your description you are running on cloud.

Jira actions (like creating issues) and XRAY actions (like adding test steps) are handled in different APIs therefore would need 2 different API calls.

In XRAY I guess it´s best done with the GraphQL API:

@Christopher DickCan you share a screenshot with the automation?

To find a customfield id:

Xray does not use the standard Jira fields. Within the test details, the Xray fields for test steps are displayed/embedded similar to an iFrame. No information about the test step fields can be retrieved using the browser's Explore function or a JQL query. Unfortunately, I cannot generate screenshots from the system environment.
