GET /rest/api/3/field/search Search fields with filters and paging · Atlassian Get Fields Paginated #

Ask an LLM

“Can I search Jira fields by name and only get custom ones?”

“Is there a paginated way to list fields ordered by how often they're used?”

Tell an agent

List {type} fields ordered by {orderBy}, {maxResults} per page.

GET /rest/api/3/field/search/trashed List custom fields in the trash · Atlassian Get Fields In Trash Paginated #

PUT /rest/api/3/field/{fieldId} Update a custom field's name or searcher · Atlassian Update Custom Field #

GET /rest/api/3/field/{fieldId}/contexts List a field's contexts (deprecated) · Atlassian Get Contexts For A Field #

Ask an LLM

“Which contexts is a custom field used in, using the older contexts endpoint?”

“Is the older per-field contexts list deprecated in favour of the newer custom field contexts call?”

Tell an agent

Get {maxResults} legacy contexts for custom field {fieldId}.

DELETE /rest/api/3/field/{id} Permanently delete a custom field · Atlassian Delete Custom Field #

Ask an LLM

“How do I permanently delete a custom field, even if it's not in the trash?”

“Is deleting a custom field done as an asynchronous task?”

Tell an agent destructive · confirm first

Permanently delete custom field {id}.

Erase custom field {id} for good, bypassing the trash.

POST /rest/api/3/field/{id}/restore Restore a custom field from trash · Atlassian Restore Custom Field From Trash #

“Can I bring back a custom field I moved to the trash?”

“How do I undo trashing a Jira custom field?”

Tell an agent

Restore custom field {id} from the trash.

Recover trashed field {id} so it's usable again.

POST /rest/api/3/field/{id}/trash Move a custom field to trash · Atlassian Move Custom Field To Trash #

Ask an LLM

“What's the recoverable way to get rid of a custom field?”

“Can I trash a custom field instead of deleting it outright?”

Tell an agent

Move custom field {id} to the trash.

Trash field {id} so it can still be restored later.
