options for custom field using API

[Yellalingh Margonda]

Hi I am trying to get the option available for the custom filed using this api

l = "https://your-domain.atlassian.com/rest/api/3/customField/customfield_10135/option

it returns the 404 error. I am following this document https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-custom-field-options/#api-rest-api-3-customfield-fieldid-option-put 

I have the admin access. Can someone please help me in writing a api to retrieve the custom field options

Hello Jessica,

In cases like this, when other users need to jump in and do an action so the issue can proceed, we usually create "Epics" insetad of "Issues" using Agile: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Setting+Up+Epics+for+your+Project

So you'll be able to have an issue (called epic) that allows you to have other issues within.

Another option is to use sub-tasks: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+a+Sub-Task

Interesting. So, the basic idea is to push the "issue" up the hierarchy so that it can have sub issues associated with it. We are just starting to experiment with epics here. Is it normal practice to first have a standard issue (story), but change it to an epic once it becomes apparent that there are things blocking its completion?
