Create new fields for user entity and expose in api REST

Hi comminty!

I’m need add new fields like employee number and department into each jira user. This feature shouldn’t be regarding by workspace but to user entity of Jira Cloud.

Some one had the same request ? Or need to build a app to extend User entity ?

Hi @pablo_gomez,

Welcome to our Atlassian Developer community.

I had a look in our customer community and found a few related threads that might give you some input if you are looking to use an existing app:

(Just keep in mind these are the first results I found and not a recommendation)

Otherwise, if you would like to build an app for your specific use case Users entity properties are a valid option for storing the employee data.

Cheers,
Caterina
