How to retrieve data from a custom tab in Jira using the API ?

[Prasanth Sundararajan]

How can I fetch data from a custom tab (ex: QA attachments) in the Jira issue view using the API? Is there a specific endpoint or method to retrieve the data displayed in such tabs?

Hi @Prasanth Sundararajan --

If you're talking about tabs in an issue screen (as described here) I don't think there's an API for selecting just the fields in a given tab. 

You could just use the Get issue API endpoint because data for all fields should be there.

If for some reason you need to programmatically know which fields are in a tab (I guess this might be useful if other admins might make changes to the tab without your knowledge?), then there is a Get all screen tab fields API endpoint that could help you get that list of fields.

But the data? All the data will be in Get issues.
