Sprint name isn't returned via API when using /rest/api/2/search?

[jodywhite]

I've been trying to get issue information via the rest API but sprint isn't returned as a field. I tried just searching for a sprint to get all the issues

/rest/api/2/search?jql=sprint={sprintid}

I tried only returning certain fields including Sprint:

/rest/api/2/search?jql=sprint={sprintid}&fields=description,issuetype,status,sprint

When I use JQL in the Jira Issue search I can search for sprint {sprintid} then customize the Column list to show Sprint.

Same thing if I search for a specific issue. It doesn't return the sprint the issue is in.

Is this expected?

Hi @jodywhite 

Due to the fact you are using API for this, you are required to use the customfield_ID for this.

The default ID for field Sprint = customfield_10020

/rest/api/2/search?jql=sprint={sprintid}&fields=description,issuetype,status,customfield_10020

Got it. I did see that, but I was expecting there to be a field just for Sprint. I didn't think I would have to parse through a list to get the sprint name.

After I posted this question I found this also: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-9928.
