The path to a file to read options from.

If this parameter is empty, an empty list of options will be considered.

Note
iconfalse

The file should contain one custom field option on a separate line.


Note

To handle cascading select custom fields children options, prefix them with a space or a tab and they will be considered as children of the closest option from above that isn't prefixed with a space or tab.


charsetstringYes (can be empty string)

The character set to use when reading from file.

If this parameter is empty, then the default system charset will be used.

actionForOldFieldValuesstringYes (can be empty string)

The action to take for the field values (options) that are present in the current field options but are not present in the input options.

Possible values: "NONE", "DISABLE", "ENABLE", "DELETE".

If this parameter is empty, the value "NONE" will be used.

actionForExistingFieldValuesstringYes (can be empty string)

The action to take for the field values (options) that are present in the current field options and are also present in the input options.

Possible values: "NONE", "DISABLE", "ENABLE", "DELETE".

If this parameter is empty, the value "NONE" will be used.

projectKeysstring arrayYes (can be empty array)Project keys.
issueTypesstring arrayYes (can be empty array)Issue types.
useDefaultSchemebooleanYesSpecify if you want to use the default configuration scheme (or context) of this custom field.
reorderbooleanYesSpecify if you want to reorder the options as they are given in the input file.
updateExistingOptionsValuesbooleanYesSpecify if you want to update the existing options with the values provided in the input file. This option is needed because Jira considers for example that the option "ABC" is the same as "abc". This option allows you to change the case of rename the options.
applyActionsOnParentOptionsbooleanYes

Specify if you want the actionForOldFieldValues and actionForExistingFieldValues to also be applied to parent options, or just child options.

Note

If this parameter is false and the custom field's type is not cascading select, then the actions might not apply (since only the cascading select custom field can have children displayed in the UI).
