Custom Fields - Determining custom field IDs

There are several ways to determine the field ID of a custom field; the most straightforward is to check the URL of the custom field when editing its details through the Jira Custom fields screen. To find the ID of a custom field:

1. Log into Jira as an Administrator.

2. In the upper right corner of the window, click Settings ( ) and select Issues.

3. In the left-hand sidebar, click Custom fields.

4. Locate your custom field in the list; use the filter at the top of the list to search.

5. Click the action button at the far right ( ) and select Edit details.

6. Check the URL for the page that opens - the final argument of the URL is the field ID (Figure 1, right).

7. Append this value to “customfield_” to get the full ID of the field. For example, customfield_10130 is the field ID of Projected Due Date, shown in Figure 1, right.
