How do I update custom field options programmatically?

[Skye Koch]

I currently maintain a custom field which frequently needs its options changed.

Is there a way to update custom field options with a script/api endpoint? I found this in the API documentation for jira cloud but not data center: The Jira Cloud platform REST API (atlassian.com)

I am using jira data center 9.6.

Hi Skye.

Here a link directly to the rest api for datacenter.

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.6.0/

https://developer.atlassian.com/server/ 

Under developer documentation you will find under Server, and that because it's basically the same as datacenter. The datacenter options is just enabled by the license key.

Atlassian will probably update that in the documentation sometime soon, i guess :-)

There is no rest api to do it for data center.

There a feature request for it here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-36112

If you have a tool like scriptrunner you could create your own rest api.

You might be able to use something like this:
