Can you upload user customer fields to Jira?

Mark Heywood March 25, 2014

I have been trying to do a search of the internet and the blogs of how you can sync jira with HR systems.

Obviously I know you can sync it with Active Directory. But is it possible to include custom user fields for an upload.

The reason I need to look into this is that we are looking into tempo timesheets and want to use their API's to get a user id out to link with our finance system. Tempo gets a user id from a custom field you create and select. So ideally we would have a regular upload of users to jira including this custom field and reglar download of worklogs from tempo to finance.

I have just been trying to search blogs for some guides on how to do this type of things. Is there a Jira API we can use to do this? Is there any docs out there that would help and can you point me in the right direction please?

Cheers

Depending on which version you are using, here is the REST API Documentation.

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/6.1.7/

You can pull user data out of JIRA with certain methods of the API. You could have some scripts running on an admin server that perform the tasks you need to pull out user info from JIRA and populate it in another system or pull data out of another system and import it into JIRA.

Yes I had found those. I guess I was looking for something a bit more exaplanatory like some online code examples/tutorials.

Thanks anyway!
