How to update the rank field using rest api?

[Yash_reddy]

I want to update the rank field value as number instead of alphanumeric pattern.Is it possible to update the filed.If possible how to proceed

1. Use "/rest/api/2/field" this end point and search word rank. Here it will give description of each and every custom field (Ex: customfield_10114)

2. Use  "/rest/agile/1.0/issue/" end point to search the field from Step 1 (Ex: customfield_10114). So the value to this field would be the rank.

Hi Pinky,

We cannot change the Value of Rank to a numeric value Via API. The rank of the issue can only be moved before or after a certain issue.

Please try the below query and let me know the results:

PUT /rest/agile/1.0/issue/rank

Data to be passed :

header : 'Content-Type: application/json' 
 Body example :
 {

  "issues": [
    "PR-1",
    "10001",
    "PR-3"
  ],
  "rankBeforeIssue": "PR-4",
  "rankCustomFieldId": 10521

}

Moves (ranks) issues before or after a given issue. At most 50 issues may be ranked at once.

Please follow the article api-rest-agile for more details.

Best regards,

Shwetha

1. Using Chrome, navigate to the backlog where you can drag and drop issues to change rank.
2. Right click in the back of the Jira page and select "Inspect"
3. A window/pane will open.  Click on the Network Tab
4. Now back into Jira change the ranking of an issue using drag and drop.
5. If you look on the network tab, a PUT request named "rank" will show up
6. Select it and look at the Payload.
7. The rankCustomFieldId is described.
