Hi, Sneha.

From what it looks, based on the JSON response, the value of the custom field should already be a string because of the double quotes.

Can you tell how are you handling this response? Are you doing this within a script or program, if so, which programming language are you using?

Also, can you tell which type of field is your custom field, e.g. select list, text field, number field, etc? I would like to test this on my end.

Kind regards,
Maurício Karas

Hi Mauricio,

My Custom Field is Portfolio team. I am using accessing it via Jira api using Java programming language.

Thanks,

Sneha

In this case, isn't it possible for you to cast the value from int to string after receiving the response from Jira?  I mean, within Java.

Are you getting any errors or unexpected behavior?
