How to get the field configurations using JIRA python api

[Tejvir Singh]

I want the field configuration of a project. Like I want to know which field is required in a particular project while creating an issue and I want to get this information using Jira-python api. Is there a way to do it.

From the docs

Discovering project and issue type data

To create an issue in JIRA, you first need to specify a project and issue type. These together are referred to in JIRA as an issue context and are used to find the JIRA schemes that control what fields are available for an issue, what the default values are and what fields are mandatory.

Using the createmeta resource we can discover the project and issue types.
