Hi @Kishor Mudhili 

 

If that field with value not present in Response Body , Ask Jira team to double check whether they have included it in request payload before sending it to Servicenow.

anyone having complete jira integration documentation ??

In this longer format video I show each step (and misstep) in integrating my personal Jira instance with a ServiceNow instance. While the integration instructions provided by ServiceNow are a starting point, this video shows how it's done with mistakes and all! #servicenow #jira #atlassianjira ...

Hi @Kishor Mudhili

When using the Jira Spoke for inbound integration, custom fields not appearing in Flow Designer is something teams run into occasionally.

You may want to look at a few areas:

  • The Jira Spoke does not always expose all custom fields in Flow Designer actions, especially in steps like Lookup Record.
  • Some fields are available via the Jira API but aren’t surfaced as data pills unless explicitly supported by the spoke action.
  • Field context in Jira (project or issue type scope) can limit what metadata is returned.
  • Accessing unsupported fields may require extending the spoke or adding scripted REST logic.

In your case, you may want to explore OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM), a ServiceNow Partner. It connects directly via APIs and supports no-code, plugin-free, bi-directional sync, allowing custom fields to be mapped without relying on Spoke constraints. It also preserves attachments, comments, and inline text context out-of-the-box, avoiding custom scripts. As a ServiceNow Partner, we’ve seen this help teams move beyond native connector limitations.

Hope it helps!
