REST services

JEP extends Jira’s REST API by offering additional REST services that fill gaps, making it easier to automate and manage key Jira functionalities.

Custom field Rest API

JEP provides a dedicated Custom Field REST API, allowing users to interact with custom fields efficiently.

With this API, you can:

• Retrieve and update custom field values programmatically.

• Access metadata related to JEP custom fields.

• Manage custom field options with additional details not available in the native Jira API.

Custom field options (Enabled/disabled)

The default Jira REST API does not provide information about whether a custom field option is enabled or disabled or the sequence order of custom field options.

JEP extends this functionality by offering REST endpoints that let you retrieve the enabled/disabled status of custom field options and access sequence details to manage custom field option orders efficiently.

User activation and deactivation

Jira does not offer REST endpoints for activating or deactivating users, limiting automation. JEP provides two REST services to activate a user and deactivate a user.
