/rest/api/3/field/{fieldId}/screens
Hi I am writing a relatively simple report on configuration items in Jira Cloud.
I have a list of fields and want to get a list of screens on which the field appears.
The API above works when we pass field ids with the customfield_11111 pattern, but does not work on the older system fields - e.g ‘summary’, ‘assignee’ etc. Can anyone advise? I have tried putting in quotes, etc but nothing has worked.
Hello @JuliaMurphy
I’ve just tested that endpoint and gotten the same result. There doesn’t seem to be a way to pass in the IDs of system fields, only custom fields.
GET https://{{Instance}}/rest/api/3/field/description/screens
{
"errorMessages": [
"The field with ID 'description' was not found."
],
"errors": {}
}
Yet I know that the ID of the system field called Description is ‘description’
The equivalent v2 endpoint has the same problem. I think you should raise this as a bug with Atlassian.
Have you tried this API?

There are also APIs for screen tabs, and fields on screen tabs.
