How to remove options from a custom field using Jira CLI

This article explains how to remove one or more options of a custom field in Jira using Jira Command Line Interface (CLI).

Instructions

From CLI v9.3.0, The custom field options can be removed using removeCustomFieldOptions action.
In this example, a select list field is used named "input" which has options 1, 2, and 3.
The screenshot below shows the "input" custom field configuration:
Execute the below action to delete the custom field option "2" from the list of options:
```
--action removeCustomFieldOptions --field "input" --options "2"
```
--field represents the custom field name
--options for the custom field option\values
Log in to Jira and verify the custom field configuration. The option is removed as shown in the below screenshot:
To remove more than one custom field option, use comma separated list of options as shown below:
```
--action removeCustomFieldOptions --field "input" --options "2,3"
```

The action works only on the custom fields that allows configuration of options.

It is recommended to test this scenario in a non-production environment or run the action with the --simulate parameter, to verify the behavior before deploying on production environment.
