How to fetch all options from a Custom Field via JIRA REST API

[Sai Avinash Duddupudi]

In my Jira namespace, while creating a ticket, there is a CustomField dropdown called Client which has some options as shown in the below image.

I am not able to find a way to fetch these options in the dropdown via JIRA REST API.

Can someone please suggest how to get it?

@Sai Avinash Duddupudi do you find any solution for this problem?

If you want to get all the allowed values for a custom field, use the createmeta or editmeta methods. Here is an example resource:

/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=YOURPROJECTKEY&issuetypeNames=Bug&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

[CloudOfPHP]

Use the createmeta methods. you will get allowed options for all custom fields.

REST API url : /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=<PROJECT KEY>&issuetypeNames=Bug&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-   Thanks for the quick reply.

the id for the above client dropdown is customfield_12345

Can you pls tell how to retrive the fieldId and contextId so that I will use the same in the API call to fetch the field options?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Same place, but the line above is "issue custom field contexts".  You might want to check "projects" in the same area.

[Sai Avinash Duddupudi]

did not understand...... can you be more specific?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You will need to use the custom field context calls, as documented in the link I gave, to get the context for the custom field you are querying the contents of.
