Hi @Rajesh Ramankutty ,

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what you consider as a plugin. For instance, if you want to have the feature available in Jira's web interface, then you shall build it as a plugin making use of https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/java-apis/

Alternatively, you could make use of Groovy together with ScriptRunner (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview)

And in Python you could make use of https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/ that ease the use of Jira REST API.

Hope the above helps.

Kind regards,
Rafael
