You can use this API to get system and custom ticket fields. For a list of system fields, see About ticket fields in Help Center.

You can also use the API to create custom ticket fields. See About custom field types in the Zendesk Help Center. New custom ticket fields become available in the Tickets API. See Setting custom field values in Tickets.

You can make ticket fields visible on the request form in Help Center for end users. To make a ticket field visible to end users, make it both visible and editable in Help Center. Example:

{  "visible_in_portal": true,  "editable_in_portal": true}

List Ticket Fields

  • GET /api/v2/ticket_fields

Returns a list of all system and custom ticket fields in your account.

For end users, only the ticket fields with visible_in_portal set to true are returned.

Cursor pagination returns a maximum of 100 records per page and fields are returned in the order specified by their id.

If the results are not paginated, every field is returned in the response and fields are returned in the order specified by the position.

You can adjust the position of ticket fields by:

These adjustments determine the order in which fields are displayed in various locations. For accounts without access to multiple ticket forms, the order will also be used to display field values within tickets. However, for accounts with access to multiple ticket forms, the field order on the ticket page is defined within each form.

Consider caching this resource to use with the Tickets API.

Pagination

  • Cursor pagination (recommended)
  • No pagination

See Pagination.

Count Ticket Fields

  • GET /api/v2/ticket_fields/count
  • GET /api/v2/ticket_fields/count

Returns an approximate count of system and custom ticket fields in the account. If the count exceeds 100,000, the count will return a cached result. This cached result will update every 24 hours.

The count[refreshed_at] property is a timestamp that indicates when the count was last updated.

Note: When the count exceeds 100,000, count[refreshed_at] may occasionally be null. This indicates that the count is being updated in the background, and count[value] is limited to 100,000 until the update is complete.

Create Ticket Field

  • POST /api/v2/ticket_fields

Creates any of the following custom field types:

Custom field typeDescription
textDefault custom field type when type is not specified
textareaFor multi-line text
checkboxTo capture a boolean value. Allowed values are true or false. Optionally, you can specify a tag to be added to the ticket when the value is true.
dateExample: 2021-04-16
integerString composed of numbers. May contain an optional decimal point
decimalFor numbers containing decimals
regexpMatches the Regex pattern found in the custom field settings
partialcreditcardA credit card number. Only the last 4 digits are retained
multiselectEnables users to choose multiple options from a dropdown menu. It contains one or more tag values belonging to the field's options.
taggerSingle-select dropdown menu. It contains one or more tag values belonging to the field's options. Example: ( {"id": 21938362, "value": ["hd_3000", "hd_5555"]})
lookupA field to create a relationship (see lookup relationships) to another object such as a user, ticket, or organization

Note: Tags can't be re-used across custom ticket fields. For example, if you configure a tag for a checkbox field, you can't use that tag value for a dropdown field option.

See About custom field types in the Zendesk Help Center.

Field limits

We recommend the following best practices for ticket fields limits. Creating more than these amounts can affect performance.

  • 400 ticket fields per account if your account doesn't have ticket forms
  • 400 ticket fields per ticket form if your account has ticket forms

Update Ticket Field

  • PUT /api/v2/ticket_fields/{ticket_field_id}

Updating drop-down field options

You can also use the update endpoint to add, update, or remove options in a drop-down custom field. Updating field options for multi-select fields works exactly the same as drop-down field options.

Important: Unless you want to remove some options, you must specify all existing options in any update request. Omitting an option removes it from the drop-down field, which removes its values from any tickets or macros.

Use the custom_field_options attribute to update the options. The attribute consists of an array of option objects, with each object consisting of a name and value property. The properties correspond to the "Title" and "Tag" text boxes in the admin interface. Example request body:

{"ticket_field": {    "custom_field_options": [      {"name": "Apple Pie", "value": "apple"},      {"name": "Pecan Pie", "value": "pecan"}    ]  }}

Example Request

curl https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com/api/v2/ticket_fields/{id}.json \  -d '{"ticket_field": {"custom_field_options": [{"name": "Apple Pie", "value": "apple"}, {"name": "Pecan Pie", "value": "pecan"}]}}' \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT \  -v -u {email_address}/token:{api_token}
