Hello @HAZIQIZZAT

For Jira Data Center, you add fields to screens via the Screens: Add field endpoint.

Hello @sunnyape,
Thanks for the reply. Where to get the fieldId?

What do you mean? You already know the id of the field. It’s right there, on your screen grab of Postman:

07f940563616e364f340797ad81b9384f6116c9d
07f940563616e364f340797ad81b9384f6116c9d1122×488 25.4 KB

I already try it, but it said Invalid field id

In Data Center REST API, the document makes a distinction between fields and custom fields.

You can try this API to get the list of available fields:
https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.14.1/#api/2/screens-getFieldsToAdd
I’m guessing you won’t find any custom fields in the result.

Thanks for the help, I just got it working now. I just misunderstand with Request Body. :sweat_smile:
