How to use variables for Profields by DEISER

Issue to page also supports the Profields - Jira Project Tracking by DEISER

(warning) To use this feature Profields version 5.0 and higher is required

Attaining a profields id is currently rather complex. You have to use a rest call, based on your Jira system.

In the url Bar, enter something like: <JIRA BASE URL>/rest/profields/api/2.0/fields/

Replace the <JIRA BASE URL> with your Jira URL, for example https://greenque-jira.com/rest/profields/api/2.0/fields/

The result should be a rather difficult to read website. In here, search for the name of your desired field, in our case it is the country.

Next to it you will find the ID that you are searching for.

Pro Tip

Write this id, and all others that might be necessary, into a Confluence table to avoid searching through this response ever again.

Profields Variables

Starting with version 1.3.3, we support Profields variables.

Simply create a variable from the Profields ID, for example $issue.profield_27.

If you're using the Profields add-on version 6.2, you can add your project fields to your page using the Profields field ID and the following variable pattern: $issue.profield_{ID}

  • Example: $issue.profield_27 

The field IDs can be obtained via the Profields REST API
