Get all values from a label custom field

[Jose M]

Hello,

There is any way (restAPI or something like that) to get all the values of a label custom field? I am using JIRA 6.4.12.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

REST call to the issue, will return the full issue content in JSON format, inluding labels.

https://site.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/BLAH-123

Component API is via LabelManager.getLabels(long issueId)

Set<Label> getLabels(Long issueId)
Returns all the labels for the given issue.
Parameters:
issueId - The issue id that the label is linked against
Returns:
A set of alphabetically ordered labels for the issue.

Hello Andy,

Thanks for your response.

This rest end-point will only return the labels used in this specific issue.

What I want, is to get all the options already available in the label custom field.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Jose

The JIRA APIs are issue centric, there is no API for that.  LabelService can give you _getSuggestedLabels(..)_ with a  nulltoken will give you popular labels.

Not possible AFAIK.  With SQL you can do this:

SELECT label FROM "label" where fieldid=10100 group by label order by label

Another path is to use JQL to query for the field, i.e.  LabelsCF  is not empty, then loop over the results (however many) and use the getLabels for each issue, build up a set.
