How to populate Attached Form (Jira Forms) fields via JSM REST API?

[Eduardo Lima Boucault]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a request via the Jira Service Management REST API using the endpoint /rest/servicedeskapi/request.

The request type I'm using has an Attached Form (Jira Form) linked to it — with additional fields that do not appear in the /field or /request/createmeta endpoints.

My question is:

Is there any way to populate the fields from the Attached Form via the REST API?

I've tried sending values through requestFieldValues, but since those fields aren't exposed through the public endpoints, I can't retrieve their fieldIds or expected values.

Has anyone managed to do this? Is there a specific API for Jira Forms or any recommended workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can populate Forms field values via the API, the endpoint you want to use is Save form answers
