I am new to Agent + MCP, and was stuck in asking VS copilot Agent to create a Jira Test Issue Type with this error message:

 

 "message": "Failed to create issue: Bad Request. {\"errorMessages\":[],\"errors\":{\"customfield_12345\":\"must NOT have additional properties\"}}"
I asked the Agent, I google and search the jira api https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/
I tried lots of different input format for the custom field (Select list single option) but all of them fails - 
e.g.
 "customFields": {
    "customfield_12345": {
      "value": "my value"
    }
  }
or
"customfield_12345": { "value": "red" }
or
"customfield_12345": { "id": "11223" }
or
"customfield_12345": {
    "id": "11223",
    "value": "my value"
  }
Wondering if anyone has same issue and if it was resolved, how?  Or it's just a limitation of beta?
Thanks alot!
