'Azure DevOps Access Custom Field From Script

I have a required custom field on any ticket created (Bug, Tasks, PBI).

I have a pipeline that creates tickets automatically, but the values that are used to create these tickets doesn't have a value for my custom field. I want to set this custom field by adding an entry to the pipeline variables, but I don't know the variable name of the custom field.

How can I find the variable name of the custom field so I can access it?

variables azure-devops

I found out how to determine your custom variable name.

ADO has a bunch of APIs. The following will give you all the details of a specific work type. For my case I needed the "bug" work type.

/* 
    Api to display work type fields in JSON format
    Replace {} with correct values
*/

https://dev.azure.com/{orginization}/{project}/_apis/wit/workitemtypes/{type}/fields?api-version=6.0

The resulting JSON will give you a whole list of variables. Here is what the System Variable and a Custom Variable look like.

The referenceName is the variable name you would use in your scripts, etc.

TL;DR - Take your field name and remove all spacing and then put Custom. in front of it.

Custom.FieldNameWithNoSpace
