Specify a valid project ID or key when trying to create an issue of type task

[Ashutosh]

I am trying to create an issue in jira via postman and always getting this error - Specify a valid project ID or key when trying to create an issue of type task. 

Request --> 

The issue type references a Task.. below is the information about the issue type returned from callout to https://iamashutosh.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issuetype

I have also tried setting project id to SF01 (Project key) but even that doesn't work. 

I even tried changing it to "project" { "key" : "10001"} and also "project" { "key" : "SF02"} but none of these combinations seem to work and I'm getting the same error over and over again.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)
