Hi,

I’d like to share with you my idea how to fetch all fields for classic project.

  1. You can call
    /rest/api/3/issuetypescreenscheme/project?projectId=XXX to get configured issue type screen scheme ID for that project.
  2. Then you can call
    /rest/api/3/issuetypescreenscheme/mapping?issueTypeSchemeId=YYY to get mappings between issue type screen scheme, issue types and screen schemes.
  3. Now you can check screens for every issue type using rest/api/3/screenscheme?id=ZZZ
  4. When you get sum of fields present on all tabs of all screens - create/edit/view/default by calling /rest/api/3/screens/AAA/tabs/BBB/fields then you have a list of fields used in project.

Eh, it’s quite complex :disappointed:.

According to my knowledge performing such operations in next-gen project is impossible with currently available APIs.

When it comes to getting custom fields option values including non-global context, it’s something that we keep in mind during planning the next steps of extending project configuration APIs, but I can’t share any exact dates when it will be done.
