Createmeta using jirapython

Question

Trying to know all the mandatory fields for an issue type Testcase in JIRA using the below statement

defined params as list with items projectIds, IssueType = Testcase, IssueType Id =

"jira._get_json('issue/createmeta', params)".

But i am not able to retrieve the fields output is alist with projects issuetypes, subtask, description, avatarUrls, key, Self, expand

Let me know is there any issue with statement I used or please post a way to retrieve all the mandatory fields for specific issue type using jira python

Answer 1

The way I have been doing this for specific fields:

    issue = jira.issue(TestCase)
    issue_type_name = issue.fields.issuetype.name
    issue_type_id = issue.fields.issuetype.id

---

Another way to do this getting all the meta is:

    issue = jira.issue(TestCase)
    print(issue.raw)

or

    jira.createmeta(projectKeys='TestCaseProject', projectIds=['TestCase'],expand=None)
