Get/Update Custom Field value by name via REST API

[Matt Lin]

Hi,

We are using REST API with WCF and JSON.NET to update or query jira issue.

For custom field , we operate by id (like customfield_10001) ,

but different environment the id of customfield is different.

(We added a new customfield on our dev and production jira , but the id of customfield is different. )

Can we using customfield name by rest api or can we change the id of customfield ?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm looking for the same things as Brian... any feedback?

[Brian Mehrman]

Is there a way to get a list of the Custom Field Options that are associated to a Custom Field. I am trying to get the list of options for a Single Select List.

Is this even possible?

Hi Matt,

While the id cannot be changed within JIRA, you could create a backup of your Prod data and import the backup into Dev. This would delete everything currently in Dev, but would ensure the same custom field ids are identical between both environments.

If you want to get a list of all of the custom fields from each environment, you can use the REST API: http://<instance>/rest/api/2/field

Cheers,

Paul
