JIRA REST API for Atlassian Connect: how to create options for multi-select customfields? (NOT setting an individual issue's customfield value)

[Frank Polscheit]

Currently, you can create a new customfield using the JIRA REST API of all system field types.

Having created a multi-select customfield, how can I configure the choosable options using JIRA's REST API?

For Atlassian-Connect, it is not possible to write my own REST-addon to provide this missing feature by JAVA and plugin/2 as this cannot be installed within onDemand-instances.

Frank,

Just to collect a little more information: how are you creating/adding the custom field at the moment?

There is currently no REST endpoint under /rest/api/ for setting custom field options.

Hi Matt,

I am using the following Javascript to create a new multi-select customfield within JIRA:

function addCustomfield(name, desc, type, searchKey) {

var i=0;

for (var len=fields.length; i<len; i++) {

if (fields[i].name == name) break;

}

if (i == fields.length) {

AP.require('request', function(request) {

request({

type: 'POST',

url: '/rest/api/2/field',

data: JSON.stringify({ "name": name,

  "description": desc,

  "type": type,

  "searcherKey": searchKey }),

  contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',

    success: function(data) {

    data  =  AJS.$.parseJSON(data);    

    if (name == "Gantt Options") {

AP.getLocation(function(location){

  var baseUrl = location.replace(/plugins\/servlet\/ac\/de.polscheit.jira.plugins.gantt.cloud\/gantt-chart-configure/,"");

  AJS.$("#gantt-customfields").append("<li>"+name+" created, but you have to <a href='" + baseUrl + "secure/admin/ConfigureCustomField!default.jspa?customFieldId=" +  

                                                                                                     data.schema.customId + "'>create its options</a> named \"Milestone\" and \"Manual re-scheduling\" manually!</li>"); 

});    

    } else {

    AJS.$("#gantt-customfields").append("<li>"+name+" created</li>");

    }

    AJS.log(data);

    },

    error: function(data) {

    AJS.$("#gantt-customfields").append("<li>"+name+": " + data + "</li>");

    }

  });

});

} else {

AJS.$("#gantt-customfields").append("<li>"+name+": already exists</li>");

}

}

        addCustomfield("Gantt Options", "Issue-specific Gantt settings", "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:multicheckboxes", "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:multiselectsearcher");

Kind regards,

Frank

Frank,

Right. Unfortunately, there is no way to set custom field options in JIRA's public REST api. This doesn't help you in an Atlassian Connect plugin, but there is a REST resource for this under /globalconfig/ (it hasn't migrated to stable yet):

POST http://localhost:2990/jira/rest/globalconfig/1/customfieldoptions/customfield_10000

Body:

[

  {"id":100, "name": "b"}

]

Hi,

I am trying to do this POST request through a node js server but getting the following error:
