    Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata

    SYNOPSIS

    Returns metadata required to create an issue in JIRA

    SYNTAX

    Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata [-Project] <String> [-IssueType] <String> [[-Credential] <PSCredential>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

    DESCRIPTION

    This function returns metadata required to create an issue in JIRA - the fields that can be defined in the process of creating an issue. This can be used to identify custom fields in order to pass them to New-JiraIssue.

    This function is particularly useful when your JIRA instance includes custom fields that are marked as mandatory.

    EXAMPLES

    EXAMPLE 1

    Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata -Project 'TEST' -IssueType 'Bug'

    This example returns the fields available when creating an issue of type Bug under project TEST.

    EXAMPLE 2

    Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata -Project 'JIRA' -IssueType 'Bug' | ? {$_.Required -eq $true}

    This example returns fields available when creating an issue of type Bug under the project Jira.

    It then uses Where-Object (aliased by the question mark) to filter only the fields that are required.
