How can I query using the API a CustomField for a particular issue?

Question

Hi

I have tried multiple ways of trying to retrieve the details for a custom field using the API but I cannot find the right combination of parameters.

Now I am mostly using:

curl -D- -u username:password -X GET "https://jira.hootsuitemedia.com/rest/api/latest/issue/KEY-ISSUENUMBER"

But I am not issue if "issue" is the right now ?

Any tips/clues?

thanks!

Hi @jon-luk

Thanks very much for that.. But I am trying to have as an extra field a CustomField.

I have tried many permutations and nothing seems to work work.

Thanks!
