How to find id of an issue type for a non-admin user.

I know it can be done with admin rights, but is it possible through non-admin rights using some REST clients or something similar?

Thanks,

Hi Tarun,

You can view create issue screen that will load all issue types. Direct URL should be like this:

<your JIRA instance>/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa

then just view HTML source of the page using your browser and you will have all informations in below form:

&lt;option class="11611" id="issuetype116113" data-icon="/jira/images/icons/issuetypes/task.png" value="3"&gt;
    Task
&lt;/option&gt;

where value is the issue type ID.

I hope that will help.

Best Regards,

Mirek

To update...

now you need to view page source and search for "&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;" 

Each place you see the string “&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;” you will see the name of the issue type displayed immediately before.

Immediately after that string is the numerical value of the issuetype that you will need to for things like Cloud Email Handler – Handler params etc
