JIRA Rest API configure custom field for operation add

[Erik Rodriguez]

I am using the Rest API to try and add new options to a customfield dropdown list. Currently my customfield operation is set to "set" only. Where can I change the settings in the admin tool to allow for add?

Hi Erik,

The feature request below is tracking your use case:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-28539

It also contains a workaround which does not involve coding: using the third party plugin JIRA Customfield Editor - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/jiracustomfieldeditorplugin

Cheers,

Danilo

REST does not currently expose the "add option to list" functions available to Jira admins.

A few people have workarounds using post-functions or plugins that expose the function, and I'm afraid you'll need to code to do the same - it's not in the core, needs to be added.

So there isn't even a way to change this setting on the admin side to allow for the API to make these changes?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

There's nothing to change settings for. The code required to expose this to REST simply isn't there.

Hello from 2020!😀 Could you please confirm if there is still no way to set list options for custom fields using REST API?
