Need technical Column name for all jira fields

[Ramesh Krishnan]

Where to get technical name of all columns in Jira? I could see only user frirendly name in jira dashboard. is there any backend? where those data stored in db? how to connect backend or db?

@Ramesh Krishnan the best way to get this data is to do a simple GET issue through the API. This will give you all populated fields and their technical name and/or ID. 

There is no way to directly connect to the database in Jira Cloud.
