API to get the translations of priority and other Issue Attributes

[Georgi Gachev]

Hi everyone,

I'm on Cloud and trying to find a way to get the translation mapping for Issue Priority (and the other issue attributes) through the REST APIs but I can't find anything that can work. I'm configuring the translations through https://<my_cloud_instance>/secure/admin/ViewTranslations!default.jspa?issueConstantType=priority

When I use translated values like that I receive them when using the "get issue" REST (/rest/api/2/issue/<issue_key>) but I only get the translated value and there is no way for me to get the original value based on this.

{"self":"https://<my_cloud_instance>/rest/api/2/priority/2","iconUrl":"https://<my_cloud_instance>/images/icons/priorities/high.svg","name":"Translated High","id":"2"}

I need it to create a JQL query using the original name because priority = "Translated High" doesn't work, it requires to be priority = "High"

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Georgi

Hi,

Did you try the "name" property from /rest/api/latest/field?

Moreover, it has "clauseNames" which is basically the field name options that you can use in JQL query

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for your reply but I don't need the actual name for the property field, I need the translation mapping for the values of the field. In my example I need to know that if I get the priority "Translated High" it corresponds to the original value "High".

If I use the /rest/api/latest/field API all I get is how to use the priority field which I'm already doing and no information about the values or am I missing something?

{"id":"priority","key":"priority","name":"Priority","custom":false,"orderable":true,"navigable":true,"searchable":true,"clauseNames":["priority"],"schema":{"type":"priority","system":"priority"}}

Thanks,
Georgi

Oh, sorry.

Is there a reason why you can't use priority ID in the JQL search query? It's the most robust option

[Georgi Gachev]

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to use the ID for the priority field but I am not sure it will work for all of the other fields that allow translations (such as Request Type). At any rate, I will investigate and see how I can implement most of the use cases until (if ever) Atlassian releases a way to get the translations through API.

Thanks again :)

Georgi

Hi everyone

One way is described here https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-71793.

I was able to verify that the use of headers made it possible to obtain the values in the desired language, using both headers :
'Accept-Language': 'pl',
'X-Force-Accept-Language': 'true'
