I can't find the exact code from an existing field in my project (I want to search it in JQL)

Hi!!

I work in a big organization, and we have similar fields available for multiple projects and users

I want to do an automatization rule using the info from a specific field, but this won't work because I am not using the correct one (I have 50 possible options) 

How can I know for sure which one is being used in my project?

Thansk a lot!!

Hello @Paola Cristancho 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Refer to this document:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

You can use a REST API to output in a browser window the JSON for an issue in your project. You can look through that output to find the field that has the value in that issue, and find the customfield_##### identifier that corresponds to that field.
