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.

GET FIELD SUM

If you want to get the sum of just one field you can use the following request url:

BASEURL/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/sum/customfield/{{customFieldId}}/issue/{{issueIdOrKey}}/field/{{fieldId}}

You can retrieve the field ID from the table field configuration screen.

Example URL:

http://yourjiraURL/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/sum/customfield/22007/issue/DEMO-4/field/10

Response:

Table History

Method: GET
Description: provides data about changes in the STAGIL Tables & Checklist field or https://stagil.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/STJ/pages/2063728720.

API call: http://yourjiraURL/rest/stj/1.0/api/table/history/customField/{{customfieldID}}/issue/{{issuekey}}

Table in CSV format

Method: Get

Returns table values in a CSV format

UPDATE ROW

Method: Put

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!

  1. Navigate to Settings () > Issues > Custom fields under the Fields section

  2. Click on the More (⋯) icon to the right of the custom field you are obtaining the ID

  3. The next page will list all the context for the current table field. Click ‘Edit STAGIL Tables and Checklists Configuration’.
