  • ProjectTasks (agile tasks)
  • Releases

An array of CustomField objects that represent the custom fields.

Example

Sample Code

This example lists all custom fields defined for defects in the project with ID 10372.

C#

string login = "[email protected]";
string password = "p@ssword";
int projID = 10372;
string area = "Bugs";

ServiceSoapClient service = new ServiceSoapClient();

// Prepare AuthenticationData
LoginInfo loginInfo = service.GetLoginInfo("", login, password);
AuthenticationData authData = new AuthenticationData();
authData.AppCode = loginInfo.AppCode;
authData.UserId = loginInfo.UserId;
authData.PassCode = password;
authData.DeptId = loginInfo.DeptId;
authData.ProjId = projID;

// Gets custom fields
CustomField[] customFields = service.CustomFields_Load(authData, area);
foreach (CustomField field in customFields)
{
  Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", field.CustomFieldNbr, field.FieldName);
}

Java

String login = "[email protected]";
String password = "p@ssword";
int projID = 10372;
String area = "Bugs";

ServiceSoap service = new Service().getServiceSoap12();

// Prepare AuthenticationData
LoginInfo loginInfo = service.getLoginInfo("", login, password);
AuthenticationData authData = new AuthenticationData();
authData.setAppCode(loginInfo.getAppCode());
authData.setUserId(loginInfo.getUserId());
authData.setPassCode(password);
authData.setDeptId(loginInfo.getDeptId());
authData.setProjId(projID);

// Gets custom fields
List<CustomField> customFields = service.customFieldsLoad(authData, area).getCustomField();
for (CustomField field : customFields)
{
  System.out.format("%d: %s%n", field.getCustomFieldNbr(), field.getFieldName());
}
