Creating and using custom fields with API

[Udi_Razmovitz]

Hi Guys.

I would like to create custom fields programmatically.

We use Java SDK, but we can of course do REST calls.

How can it be done ? I cannot find too much information about it in the documentation.

Thanks, Udi

Hello @Udi_Razmovitz ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Can you confirm this is for Jira Cloud?

If that's the case, you can find the documentation of the Jira Cloud REST API endpoint to create custom fields (including an example) clicking on below link:

• Create custom field

Also, please refer to the below documentation for details on how to build apps and/or 3rd party integrations for Jira Cloud:

• Integrating with Jira Cloud
• Getting started 

Finally, for the future, please notice that the best places to get help on development related questions are the ones listed in https://developer.atlassian.com/resources. 

Specifically:

• Ask the Developers Community
• Create a Developer Support Request

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dario

Hi Dario.  @Dario B 

Thank you very much for the answer.

Is this functionality available also in Jira's Java SDK ? 

I could not find it there.

Thanks,

Udi.

Hi @Udi_Razmovitz ,

I believe you are mixing 2 different things here: I provided the documentation of an officially supported REST API endpoint that you can call from your Java code as well as by using other tools or programming language. 

For the rest, please keep in mind that:

1. The officially supported frameworks are the ones listed in: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/frameworks-and-tools/
2. To ask questions on development related topics you should go to the Developers Community instead.

Cheers,
Dario
