Jira provides the ability to set custom user properties via the following :
https://<site>.atlassian.net/secure/admin/user/EditUserProperties.jspa?name=<user>
Document Reference : https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/edit-user-project-roles-jira-applications-only-744721647.html
At the moment, it is not possible to update the user properties via REST APIs in Jira cloud.
Suggestion :
Option 1 : Provide an option to update the current User properties via API
Option 2 : Allow custom properties for Atlassian Account to support custom properties that can be used by Jira.
Additional suggestion:
1. Migrate legacy user properties to user entities.
2. Provide UI to update user entities.
3. Update custom fields of "User property" type to reference user entity.
This is really important when you need to add a department number to a user for time reporting.
