    "fields" should be a JSON Array in GET /trackers/:id and GET /projects/:id/trackers
    According to the doc, "fields" is supposed to be an array, and most of the times it is, but sometimes it's not.Sometimes it's an object like this:

    "fields":{
    "0":{"field_id":585,"label":"Artifact ID","name":"artifact_id","type":"aid","values":null,"bindings":{"type":null,"list":[]},"permissions":["read"]},
    "1":{"field_id":587,"label":"Last Modified On","name":"last_update_date","type":"lud","values":null,"bindings":{"type":null,"list":[]},"permissions":["read"]},
    ...

    instead of simply:
    "field":[
    {"field_id":585,"label":"Artifact ID","name":"artifact_id","type":"aid","values":null,"bindings":{"type":null,"list":[]},"permissions":["read"]},
    {"field_id":587,"label":"Last Modified On","name":"last_update_date","type":"lud","values":null,"bindings":{"type":null,"list":[]},"permissions":["read"]},
    ...

    This concerns GET /trackers/:id and GET /projects/:id/trackers

    The problems arise when a field is not readable by a user

    To make a long story short:

    • When you can read all fields, you will have an array of fields: [0 => ..., 1 => ..., 2 =>...]
    • If the second field is not readable, you ends with: [0 => ..., , 2 =>...]
    • This is no longer an array so it's serialized as a map :)

    In your set-up (public project with a non admin and a non project member user), the json returned is well-formed on my side.

    To export a tracker structure, go to the tracker -> admin -> export. You will have an XML file. Please add it in this artifact.

    Hi Yannis,

    Actually I looked into it a bit to provide you an example, and it looks like it only happens on public projects I'm not a member of.

    When I connect as admin, who is a member of this test public project, the JSON structure is all right, but when I connect as another user who is not a member of this test public project, the JSON structure has the problem.

    Is that enough for you? I don't think that providing you with a sample tracker structure would help, but if you still cannot reproduce, I'll provide you my example (In which case, please tell me exactly how to export!).

    Hello,

    I'm not able ti reproduce this issue. On my side, I've always 'fields' : [ { ... } ].
    Can you provide us the structure of a tracker which exports its fields in REST like '0' : {} '1' : {} ?
