Custom Fields

By default, the table and view schemas describe the column behavior of only system fields. To access custom fields for Issues, as well as system fields, you can set IncludeCustomFields in the connection string. You can also extend the schemas to configure access to custom fields. The following sections show how to surface different types of custom fields.

Accessing Custom Fields

Set the IncludeCustomFields property to True to expose access to all custom fields.

Please note that there is a performance overhead associated with exposing all custom field. If this represents an obstacle in realizing the desired use case, granular control of the exposed metadata is possible using custom schema files.

Extending Schemas

Custom schema improve connector performance by enabling connections to a subset of all available custom field metadata.

Table and view schemas are defined in .rsd configuration files with a simple format that makes them easy to customize. You can call CreateSchema to save a schema file; for example, with the IncludeCustomFields connection property set. Or, adapt the example Issues schema, which you can find at the end of this section.

To connect to custom schemas, set the Location property to the folder containing the schema files. The schemas included with the connector are located in the db subfolder of the installation folder.

Defining Custom Field Columns

Columns are defined in the api:info section of the schema file. You can use any of the existing column definitions as a template for creating custom field columns. All column definitions have at least a name and data type:

name
xs:type

Custom fields require the following additional parameters:

other:urlname: This field must be specified to return the column in "SELECT MyCustomField" queries. This field has the format MyCustomFieldName_MyCustomFieldId. The Id of the custom field can be obtained by querying the Fields table.
other:relativexpath: This field must be specified to return the column in "SELECT *" queries. This field is an XPath that maps to the column value in the JSON response from Jira. The XPaths are relative to a repeat element that separates the JSON response into rows.

See the following sections for examples of specifying the XPath to the value you want for different types of columns.

Adding Simple-Type Custom Field Columns

The following example is a column definition for a custom field with a simple data type.

<attr name="MyCustomField" xs:type="string" other:relativexpath="customfield_10002" other:urlname="customfield_10002" desc="My custom field." />

Adding Object-Type Custom Field Columns

Below is the JSON representation of an object-type custom field:

"customfield_10001" : {
  "name" : "New name",
  "description" : "desc"
}

The following example models the fields of the object-type custom field as columns.

<attr  name="MyCustomFieldName"  xs:type="string"  other:relativexpath="name"         other:urlname="customfield_10001"  desc="My custom field." />
<attr  name="MyCustomFieldDesc"  xs:type="string"  other:relativexpath="description"  other:urlname="customfield_10001"  desc="My custom field." />

Adding Array-Type Custom Fields

To surface array-type custom fields, you will also need to pass several additional inputs to the processing operations of the connector, in addition to the relativexpath and urlname properties described in the Defining Custom Fields section. Use the api:set keyword to define the following variables.

XPath: Set this to "/json/issues" for compatibility with future versions of the Jira API. The XPath value is relative to the RepeatElement and SubRepeatElement values, described below.
SubRepeatElement: Set this to "/json/issues/fields/your-custom-field-name_your-custom-field-id". Query the Fields table to obtain the Id of a custom field.
RepeatElement: Set this to a column that is in every custom field row.
IsSearch: Set this to "true".
JiraTableCode: Set this to the name of the custom field plus the Id of the custom field, which can be retrieved from the Fields table. Separate the custom field name and custom field Id with an underscore.

Below is an example of an array-type custom field in the raw JSON response of a query to the Issues table. You can use the logging facilities of the connector to obtain the JSON response: Set Logfile to a location that the connector can write to and set Verbosity to 3.

 
{
  "expand": "schema,names",
  "startAt": 0,
  "maxResults": 50,
  "total": 43,
  "issues" : [{
    "expand" : "operations,versionedRepresentations,editmeta,changelog,renderedFields",
    "id" : "10042",
    "self" : "https://cdatadev.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/10042",
    "key" : "TEST-43",
    "fields" : {
      "customfield_1002" : [{
        "description" : "MyCF",
        "id" : "10001",
        "created" : "2016-22-08",
        "author" : {
          "name" : "admin",
          "key" : "admin",
        }
      }, {
      "description" : "MyCF2",
      "id" : "10002",
      "created" : "2016-22-08",
      "author" : {
        "name" : "admin",
        "key" : "admin",
      }
      },
      ...
      ]
    }
    ...
  ]
  }

Below is an example schema that surfaces the nested values in the array-type custom field.

</api:info>

<!--XPath should stay the same. Do not change this. -->
<api:set attr="XPath"                             value="/json/issues" />

<api:set attr="SubRepeatElement"             value="/json/issues/fields/customfield_10020"/>

<!--Choose a column that is in every custom field row. -->
<api:set attr="RepeatElement"                     value="CfId" />

<!--Required. Do not change this. -->
<api:set attr="IsSearch"                          value="true" />

<!--Set this to the name of the custom field plus the Id, separated by an underscore. -->
<api:set attr="JiraTableCode"                     value="customfield_10020" />

<api:script method="GET">
  <api:call op="jiraadoSelect" output="out">
    <api:push item="out" />
  </api:call>
</api:script>

</api:script>

Note that the table also includes columns outside the custom field. You can use the absolutexpath column property to add these. This optional field can be used to specify an absolute XPath not relative to the repeat element.
