@John Sheng did you find a solution or got an answer to this?

Hi @John Sheng 

To get the Custom Field ID, you will better have visibility of the Custom Field when you get the details of an Issue using the below API

Try to create the Issue in the Project where you have the Custom field present and GET the Issue via API, you will get the Custom field

Hi @Pramodh M 
yes, I typically use your method. 
And I'd like to document the list of custom field, that's why I am curious why createmeta doesn't work.

Thank you for your reply!
