With the Add/Update entity post function, it is possible to set issue properties in a issue as a hidden field.
The guide explains how to get the stored properties from a REST API call. With that, you can retrieve the information for integration with other systems.
You can use the following REST API endpoint
curl -X GET https://<JIRA-BASE-URL>/rest/api/latest/issue/<ISSUE-KEY>/properties/<KEY> |
If the issue ENPR-4 has the entity stored
| Entity Key | Entity Name | Entity Value |
|---|---|---|
| department | Department | System Reliability Engineering |
The following curl command
curl -u admin:admin -X GET https://jira-instance1.net/rest/api/2/issue/ENPR-4/properties/department |
will return
{ "keys" : [ { "key" : "Department", "self" : "System Reliability Engineering" } ] } |
