Parameter name

Type

Required

Description

issueKey

string

Key of the selected issue.

getNullFieldsbooleanNoFlag for specifying whether the fields with null values should be retrieved too. If not specified, it defaults to "false".

The return value is a string array containing all fields values for the selected issue. Each value can be retrieved from the array by key (the field id).

Example

Example 1

string[] fields = getIssueFields("DEMO-1");
return fields["summary"];

Example 2

We can use the routine to partially clone an issue by copying only some of the fields from the original issue:

string[] fields = getIssueFields("TP-1", true);
string issue = createIssue(fields["project"], fields["parent"], fields["issueType"], fields["summary"] + " - part 2");
%issue%.customfield_10000 = fields["customfield_10000"];
%issue%.description = "Partial clone of issue TP-1";
return issue;
