# Get all issue field options

`GET /rest/api/2/field/{fieldKey}/option`

Returns a [paginated](#pagination) list of all the options of a select list issue field. A select list issue field is a type of [issue field](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/modules/issue-field/) that enables a user to select a value from a list of options.

Note that this operation **only works for issue field select list options added by Connect apps**, it cannot be used with issue field select list options created in Jira or using operations from the [Issue custom field options](#api-group-Issue-custom-field-options) resource.

**[Permissions](#permissions) required:** *Administer Jira* [global permission](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/x4dKLg). Jira permissions are not required for the app providing the field.
