[dennisoehme]

Do you plan to bind custom fields from the REST response to objects or access the parent ticket?

It seems that it is possible to dynamically create attribute, and it is sent properly right now:
$issueField = new IssueField();
$issueField->customfield_10360 = 'XXX';

Of course the problem is validating field. Maybe having metadata of field could allow to create set of methods to create proper attribute, for example:

$issueField->addCustomField(mixed $fieldData, array $fieldSchema);

Where $fieldSchema is for example:
Array
(
[required] =>
[schema] => Array
(
[type] => string
[custom] => com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:textarea
[customId] => 10360
)

[name] => Acceptance Criteria
[hasDefaultValue] => 
[operations] => Array
    (
        [0] => set
    )

)

Where based on type we can make validation and proper parameter type, and based on customId we can create parameter name.

Do you think it is good idea? If yes then I can create methods as I need custom fields to work and send it to you, so you could add it to the project if you feel it is worthy.

@lesstif @MBBanfi any progress on this topic? I'm interested too by custom fields, btw, thank you for the lib!

[lesstif]

really sorry for delayed reply.

i think bind custom fields would be a useful features, but there is no progress yet.

@lesstif cweiske/jsonmapper introduces mapping of "Unknown properties". It can be helpful for you.

/**
 * Handle undefined properties during JsonMapper::map()
 *
 * @param object $object    Object that is being filled
 * @param string $propName  Name of the unknown JSON property
 * @param mixed  $jsonValue JSON value of the property
 *
 * @return void
 */
function setUndefinedProperty($object, $propName, $jsonValue)
{
    $object->{'UNDEF' . $propName} = $jsonValue;
}

$jm = new JsonMapper();
$jm->undefinedPropertyHandler = 'setUndefinedProperty';
$jm->map(...);

Lessif - as i wrote before i fixed a bit your library (sorry for so long time before i published it).
It also allows you to set/fetch custom fields. Feel free to use any code there^^
