How to add a Scope for Specific Project

[Vitheya Monikha]

Hi ,

I’ve created custom field which is a dropdown.  So, for that I am adding the options dynamically using the below APIs

API URL'S 

1. /rest/api/3/field/${fieldId}/context

2. /rest/api/3/field/${fieldId}/context/${globalContext.id}/option

The options are added successfully, but it is not project specific. The options are visible under all the projects under my account. So i need a way to apply project scope for each option I create.

Any guidance or insights from the community on how to proceed functionality it would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve attached the relevant code snippet below.

resolver.define("addOptionToCustomField", async({payload}) => {

  const { fieldId, name } = payload
  try{

    const contextResponse = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/field/${fieldId}/context`, {
      method: "GET",
      headers: { "Accept": "application/json" },
    });
    const contextData = await contextResponse.json();

    const globalContext = contextData.values.find(ctx => ctx.isGlobalContext);

    const optionData = [{ value: name }];

    var res = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/field/${fieldId}/context/${globalContext.id}/option`, {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({options: optionData}),
    });
      const data = await res.json()
   
      return data
  }
  catch(error){
    return {"code": 2000, "message": "Error while creating folder"}
  }

});

Thanks in advance for your help!

Good Morning Vitheya!

I can see in this code snipet

const globalContext = contextData.values.find(ctx => ctx.isGlobalContext);

that you chose the global context of the field, which is the reason why it shows up in all projects.

You would need to define a new context for each set of projects you want your field to have different options in.

const targetContext = contextData.values.find(ctx => ctx.name === "specific Context"); 

You can read more about contexts here:

Hope that was helpful. Let me know if you need more help!
