Searching for a method to list custom fields in JIRA via Perl SOAP. I used a different Perl SOAP script but remain unsure about its correct implementation.
hey, i tried using soap::lite method for fields and u might check dynamic property for custom. docs are v clear i think, sometimes its diffrent depending on jira version. good luck!
hey, i had similar probs with missing custum fields. try updating your wsdl or using detailed soap debugging. some older jira versions have bugs that mask custom fields. experimenting with different soap calls might be the key. good luck!
In my experience, retrieving custom fields using Perl SOAP can be achieved by carefully constructing the SOAP call with the correct method and ensuring all necessary namespaces are in place. I encountered issues when fields were not directly exposed; the resolution was to inspect the full response and parse the field objects for the specific custom attributes. Additional debugging using SOAP::Lite’s tracing can reveal discrepancies between versions and help verify if the fields are properly retrieved.
My experience with Perl SOAP and JIRA custom fields has taught me that sometimes the key lies in ensuring the SOAP bindings match the JIRA version. I discovered that a common stumbling block is outdated WSDL files that miss the extended attributes for custom fields. Making sure you update your WSDL and carefully mapping your field definitions often helps. Additionally, using detailed logging and trace modes during development can reveal hidden discrepancies in the data returned, making it easier to adapt your parser to the specific custom fields you need.
