Create multi-select custom field with options using rest-api in jira server 8.4

[Fayaz Abdul]

Hello,

I am trying to create a multi-select custom field with options like test1,test2,test3 using rest-API in Jira server 8.4.

Using https://jira.com/rest/api/2/field 

raw(JSON)

{   "name": "ReTest field",

    "description": "Custom field for testing",   

    "type": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:multiselect",   

    "searcherKey": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:multiselectsearcher"

}

But there is no options in it.

Please help me to create with options using rest api.

Thank you

Fayaz

Not sure if this would help you now. Might help someone else!

There's a work-around that solved this issue.

1) Create the custom field using POST /rest/api/2/field and body json as you do.

2) After the custom field is created (it'll be created without options), you can POST to /rest/globalconfig/1/customfieldoptions/{custom_field_id} with the body json as below:

[{"name":"option1"}, {"name":"option2"}]

Hello,

I think that's not possible at the moment. I found this related ticket about the issue:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-36112

It's still in gathering interest status. Although you can check out plugins for this issue like:
