acli (atlassian cli) creates and updates work items, but can it use custom fields?
13:40 26 Jan 2026

I am using the acli command line tool from atlassian to access jira as my logged in user.

We use a large number of custom fields in our jira stories.

We need to be able to use custom fields otherwise acli workitem create/update is useless to us.

can this be done with acli? can i use acli to create and update workitems that have custom fields?
