How to automatically create fields

[Cédric Jaduta]

Hello the community,

is it possible import configuration file (same as CSV) for create fields (500 fields) automatically (combo select with options)?

thx

Hi @Cédric Jaduta 

Welcome to the community.

Reading your request partly, but you would need to do this via the API.

You would need to create multiple calls to the API

Create the custom field using POST /rest/api/2/field and body json as you do.

Options can't be given, this is still an option from the GUI on Jira Server.

See documentation:

Hi Cedric! 

I came across this and thought it could be helpful https://ja.confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-bulk-import-custom-field-values-for-certain-types-of-custom-field-827123935.html

You may also want to consider using a script or a third party tool, https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212996/custom-field-value-importer?tab=overview&hosting=server

I hope this helps!
