I'm trying to retrieve the available options for fields through the Jira REST API but I'm getting stuck on the custom fields.
A normal field returns something like this:
{[priority, {
"required": false,
"schema": {
"type": "priority",
"system": "priority"
},
"name": "Priority",
"key": "priority",
"hasDefaultValue": true,
"operations": [
"set"
],
"allowedValues": [
{
"self": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/priority/1",
"iconUrl": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/images/icons/priorities/highest.svg",
"name": "Highest",
"id": "1"
},
{
"self": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/priority/2",
"iconUrl": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/images/icons/priorities/high.svg",
"name": "High",
"id": "2"
},
{
"self": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/priority/3",
"iconUrl": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/images/icons/priorities/medium.svg",
"name": "Medium",
"id": "3"
},
{
"self": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/priority/4",
"iconUrl": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/images/icons/priorities/low.svg",
"name": "Low",
"id": "4"
},
{
"self": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/priority/5",
"iconUrl": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/images/icons/priorities/lowest.svg",
"name": "Lowest",
"id": "5"
}
],
"defaultValue": {
"self": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/priority/3",
"iconUrl": "https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/images/icons/priorities/medium.svg",
"name": "Medium",
"id": "3"
}
}]}
The custom fields on the other hand return a much "smaller" set!
"Sprint" Custom Field:
{[customfield_10113, {
"required": false,
"schema": {
"type": "array",
"items": "string",
"custom": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-sprint",
"customId": 10113
},
"name": "Sprint",
"key": "customfield_10113",
"hasDefaultValue": false,
"operations": [
"set"
]
}]}
"Epic Link"
{[customfield_10006, {
"required": false,
"schema": {
"type": "any",
"custom": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-epic-link",
"customId": 10006
},
"name": "Epic Link",
"key": "customfield_10006",
"hasDefaultValue": false,
"operations": [
"set"
]
}]}
As you can see there are no options available, but i know that there are. How can I get to these values through rest?
I have tried checking the request that the cloud server makes but it's pretty different for each of the custom fields and i cannot find a relation between them. For example:
To get the sprint possible values: https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/picker?query=
and to get the Epic values: https://inn-inw.atlassian.net/rest/greenhopper/1.0/epics
I'm trying to make things as clean as possible and I would prefer not to hard code the request, specially because i would probably need to update the code every time a new custom field is created.
PS: I have tried some of the solutions presented in other questions but couldn't find one that fits what i need. eg: https://inn-inw.atlassian.net//rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=PROJKEY&issuetypeNames=Bug&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields returns only the short description that is displayed above.
