Hi Tom,

Thanks for your help.

I am looking to get list of all fields for specific issues type based on project selection and point me which fields are marked required.

I need that list not as admin but as read only user. So normal user can use my tool and get the list of fields detail they need to fill in their excel and map with my tool.

Regards

you can get a list of fields on an issue types edit screen using param

Expand=projects.issuetyoes.fields

I definitely recommend the Jira REST API browser and the Postman utility app to explore.

I’m not sure off the top of my head if you need any admin rights to call metadata. But it’s the methods that are available .

To create an issue you will need a user to have create issue permissions

True Tom, I completely understood that we need write or create access to create issue in selected project. which user already have but user doesn't have admin on project level.

My tool currently able to create issue with hardcode column. I want to extend my tool to next level where I can give list of column user needs to pass as part of import tool.

also in tool I can specified that (*) marked columns are required attribute.

this way my tool can be use in future if any team introduce new column in that issue type, I dont need to modify my tool anymore.

I am using REST API only. I can get list of column from below api

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/#api-api-3-field-get

But unable to find mapping which field are using in selected issuetype.

In jira you create attribute as global and add same attribute in multiple issue type. JIRA should have some kind of mapping between field & issuetype and that I am unable to find which API can provide.

According to me that API doesn't require any admin access. coz currently users are able to create issue thru JIRA UI, it mean jira has that API, JIRA is using those API to generate Create /edit issue UI. only point for me which API they are using internally.

I hope they dont use screen api, coz screen API needs Admin rights.

Thanks for your kind support.

I traverse issue.raw['fields'] in for loop to get required field and their name

try:
issue = Jira.issue(issueref)
except JIRAError as e:
return 'Error:' + str(e.text)
else:
for field in issue.raw['fields']:
if re.search('^(priority|assignee|status|issuetype|project)$', field):
JiraData += field + ':' + str(issue.raw['fields'][field]['name']) + "\n"
