You can use Jira's REST API to view, create or change data within the STAGIL Table field. The following section will help you to set up your API requests.

Note to syntax: our URL examples use this syntax {{key}} to indicate that “key” is a variable. If you are using Postman you can use this syntax for advanced variable handling.

PUT, POST, DELETE Requests

PUT Request - UPDATE ROW

When you want to change certain rows of your table, you need to use the following API call configuration:

URL: https://yourjiraURL.xyz/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/data/customField/{{customFieldId}}/issue/{{issuekey}}/row/row/ID
Headers:
- Your type of authorization
- Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8;
- Accept: application/json;
You can get the row ID from the GET request, looking at the "id" of the row you want to modify.
URL example: http://localhost:8080/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/data/customField/25504/issue/KEY-4/row/123
With the GET request you can also see all the available fields and the structure of the table data. When you have drop-down, text or user columns, you only need the "field-1" part of the body. The "field-1-html" or "field-1-name" is not needed and will be added automatically. At the end of the body you don't need to add the custom field ID and the issue ID.
Example body: {"field-1": "Customer 7", "field-3": [2], "field-5": "anorth", "field-6": [8]}
This structure is simply retrieved from the GET request and you only modify the fields that you want to change. In this example, field-1 is a text field, field-3 and field-6 are select lists and field-5 is a user picker.
For select list it is possible to use just "field-1-name": [“option1“, “option2“].
Please make sure to include all the used columns of your row in your PUT request. Missing columns will be overwritten with empty values!

POST Request - CREATE ROW

To create a new row in your table you can use this request:

BASEURL/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/data/customField/{{customFieldId}}/issue/{{issueIdOrKey}}
Example URL: https://yourjiraURL/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/data/customField/22504/issue/189038
In the body of the POST request, you do not need to include values for the orderPosition and the id. The new row will automatically be added at the end of the table.
Example body: { "field-35": 2, "field-34": "some example text", "field-36": 22.2, "field-37": "someuser", "field-38": "2021-02-10" }

DELETE Requests
