T-Shirt Size field

[Emilia Traczyk]

Hi, is there any endpoint to get the value from t-shirt size field in issue?

Hi @Emilia Traczyk ,

As i understand, you are trying to estimate efforts with using t-shirt sizes. You can use endpoint below

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-get

In the returned response, the tshirt size is most likely a custom field.

ok, thank you. If I don't have this custom field in fields, can I add this somehow to it?

Hi @Emilia Traczyk

as @Tugba Capaci said, the t-shirt size of your issues is most likely some custom field, as this is not a built-in Jira feature. 

If the t-shirt size is visible on your issue, it should also be included in "fields"; it will, however, almost certainly have a different identifier. To figure out the identifier, you can call the fields endpoint and search for the name of your field.

Hi, thank you. you are right - on my side it's called customfield_11000. Is it possible to set the value to it if on my side is null?

That depends on the custom field implementation, but normally, you should be able to update it via the regular edit issue endpoint, regardless of its current value. I don't know which format it expects, tho. Perhaps set a value in the UI, see the value in the issue API response, and figure out the format. Maybe it's just a number, maybe it's something else. Then use this format in the edit issue endpoint.
