How to Find a Custom Field ID in Jira

Use this interactive demo to learn how to locate a custom field ID inside your Jira project settings.

Quick summary

Finding a custom field ID in Jira requires navigating through Jira Settings to the Fields section, where the ID is revealed in the browser's address bar. This five-step process works for any Jira custom field and is essential for API integrations, automation rules, and advanced configurations.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, head to the top-right corner and click the Settings button.
  2. Select Work Items from the list of options in the Settings menu.
  3. In the left-hand panel, click Fields under the Field section.
  4. Browse the fields list, then find and select the specific custom field you want to check.
  5. Go to the address bar of your browser and find the string fieldId, which precedes the ID of the selected custom field in your Jira space.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to find a custom field ID in Jira is critical for teams building API integrations, automation rules, and reporting workflows that reference specific Jira fields by ID. Without the correct field ID, developers and admins cannot reliably target custom fields in Jira Query Language (JQL), REST API calls, or third-party tool configurations. This demo provides a fast, repeatable method to locate any custom field ID directly from the Jira admin interface in under a minute. Mastering this skill reduces configuration errors and accelerates integration development across the entire Jira project management ecosystem.
