RemoteValidationException: Custom field ID 'components' is invalid in JIRA CLI

[MuthuSelvan SR]

Hello ,

I am trying to automate "creating jira issue" flow .

I don't have admin access and i am using custom field for setting the values through JIRA CLI interface

I have tried with the below command facing the below issue .

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=146.17.64.17 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyUser=srmuthu -Dhttp.proxyPassword=password -jar jira-cli-3.7.0.jar --action createIssue --project "Nike+" --type "bug" --summary "cascade issue" --custom customfield_12044:Normal,customfield_14442:YES,customfield_12040:Running,customfield_12340:Running,customfield_12050:n/a,components-componenets:Chat --server https://nikensl.jira.com/--user muthusr --password password

ERROR :

Warning: user is not an administrator. Custom fields names are not available for use or validation. Use custom field ids!

Remote error: com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.RemoteValidationException: Custom field ID 'components' is invalid.

But i am using correct custom field which i added through the below error before i got the above error

Remote error: com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.RemoteValidationException: {components=Component/s is required.} : []

1. Upgrade to 3.7 which provides non-admins access to custom field names.
2. Use --components xxxx to set the component system field

Looks like you've got the *system* field "Component/s" set as mandatory, but are trying to access it as a custom field.
