Python Script giving Attribute error when extracting issue information

[Pranay Verma]

Hi,

I'm basically extracting some fields from the issues in my project. So far I din't have any problem extracting the summary and description fields. But I'm unable to extract the fields from any other attribute. For example, I've used the following code, and I want to put the contents in the TechNowId field in the list. I've attached the code and the snap of the board as well as the console output :

key_list = []
summary_list = []
description_list = []
tn_id_list = []

for issue in issues_in_backlog:
description_list.append(issue.fields.description)
summary_list.append(issue.fields.summary)
tn_id_list.append(issue.fields.TechnowId)

for summary in summary_list:
ws.cell(row = summary_row, column = start_column).value = summary
summary_row += 1

for description in description_list:
ws.cell(row = description_row, column = start_column+1).value = description
description_row += 1

for TechnowId in tn_id_list:
ws.cell(row = tn_id_row, column = start_column+2).value = TechnowId
tn_id_row += 1

---

Could someone help me with this????

@Pranay VermaAPI return value of custom field by custom-field id not by custom-field name.

Find ID of TechnoWorld field and use that. It will in format like 'customfield_xxxxx' where xxxx is number.

How can I find the id for that field?

You can do that by basically look at api response or on admin page of Jira.

This KB article describe this in detail - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-find-id-for-custom-field-s-744522503.html

Hi @DPKJ ,

I got the field name from the advanced search and used it as issue.fields.customfield_xxxxx, in the code, and it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks And Regards,
