How do I find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud?

So you need to find the Custom Field ID in Jira Cloud. Perhaps you need the ID for a custom field to work on soem code, an API call or a script. How do you find it?

You can find the ID in the URL when managing custom fields

Jira - Settings - Issues - Fields - Custom Fields

https://***.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewCustomFields.jspa

Select "Edit" on the desired custom field

.../admin/EditCustomField!default.jspa?id=12802

There you go! It is that number at the end of the URL

Alternately, you can use ScriptRunner

Jira - Setttings - Add-ons - Script Runner - Script Console

and run the following

def issueKey = '***-####'

def result = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)
        .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
        .asObject(Map)
if (result.status == 200){
    return result.body.fields
} else {
    return "Failed to find issue: Status: ${result.status} ${result.body}"
}

You get output you need to pick through, I suggest picking an issue to place in "IssueKey" with a value in the field you are looking for that is something you can search (Control + F in your web browser)
  "customfield_12802": {
    "self": "https://***.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/16728",
    "value": "2Q 2018",
    "id": "16728"
  },

Jira Administration

Some things I have setup in Jira to make life better for me, with the way we work. Use Case 1: You should not close a story when sub tasks are not complete How? Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition Condition, before allowing a story to Status Category Done "All sub-tasks must have one of the following statuses to allow parent issue transitions:" (All done statuses) Use Case 2: You should not close a story until the blocker or impediment is resolved. How? Jira - Workflow - Edit Transition Condition, before allowing a story to Status Category Done "Value Field" The field Flagged will have to be not equal to value '"Impediment"'. Compared as String. Use Case 3: Set resolution when completing an item. Why? If no resolution is set some reports and metrics don't calculate correctly. How?

The dreaded "Clone" in Jira

Jira Cloud Scrum Teams Case: We clone template issues, as our work is repetitive, and get “clone” in the summary and it makes it hard to read. Built-In Jira allows you to remove "Clone" from the story you are cloning, but if you are also copying the sub-tasks there is not the option to remove it. There are ways to turn this off in Jira Server, but I could not find it in Jira cloud. Solution: Jira - Settings - Add-Ons - ScriptRunner - Escalation Service The Escalation Service called: Remove Clone In Summary As this user: (myself) Checked - enabled On this schedule: Every Hour For first 50 results returned by this query:  Project in (pipe) and Summary ~ "CLONE" Will run this code:  // check if issue.fields.summary looks like "CLONE -" def updatedSummary ="" if (issue.fields.summary.startsWith("CLONE -")) {     //if so, modify issue.fields.summary to not suck.     updatedSummary = issue.fields.summar...
