How do I find custom field IDs in Jira using Claude Code?

Use the 'aide jira fields' command with the '--filter custom' flag to list all project-specific custom fields and their internal IDs.

How does this skill help with Jira 'field not found' errors?

It maps human-readable field names to the internal Jira IDs (e.g., customfield_10269) that the API requires, ensuring your commands target the correct metadata.

Can I see which Jira fields are mandatory for a specific issue type?

Yes, by applying the '--filter required' flag along with the issue type, you can view exactly which fields must be populated to create a ticket.

Can I export Jira field data for programmatic use?

The skill supports a '--format json' option, which provides raw metadata that is ideal for use in automation scripts or other developer tools.

Does it show available options for dropdown menus?

Yes, using the '--show-values' flag will display all allowed options for select, radio button, and checkbox fields.
