I am able to successfully make the request and get a 200 response, but each time I am returned an empty key, as below. I have to assume that this means the issuetype property is not set. How would one go about adding a property to the issuetype, through the UI project settings? I have been able to add custom fields but am unclear how I would add a property. Thank you.
As far as I’m concerned it’s not possible to add issue-type properties via UI.
This feature was designed with app developers in mind to give them the possibility to store some kind of issue-type metadata.
I don’t know what did you expect to see stored inside these properties, however if you mind elaborating more about your use case, we are happy to help you.
Thanks Beata, I will try calling to that endpoint.
I am attempting to make an integration between Jira Software and my own product. I wanted to return all possible issuetype properties to dynamically fill a dropdown menu. The user would then be able to select a property and map it to the equivalent property from my own product.
That might not be possible if an issuetype doesn’t have properties on creation. I will have to look into it further!
To unpack a little bit more, the concept of entity properties are distinct from the fields of an issue. For a given “entity” (like issue ABC-123), you can get the property keys, but the properties are not enumerable globally.
once an issue type property is set - can it be searched by jql? I am looking for a way to get all issues with an issue type, which contains a certain issue-type-property.
