I just fixed it by converting Python dictionary object to JSON 

json.dumps(your_json_data)

Hi Jay -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It appears you are passing more attributes than are needed to create the issue, such as the field type information.  Perhaps try something simpler to see how that helps.  And here is the a documentation page that might help also: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/

{ 
  "fields":
    {
      "summary": "'$A'",
      "duedate": "'$B'",
      "reporter": { 
        "id": "12344534534534" 
      },
      "issuetype": { 
        "id": "3" 
      },
      "project": { 
        "id": "12201" 
      },
      "description": "'$C'"
    }
}

Also please note you will need a valid account ID value to set the reporter field.

Kind regards,
Bill
