Xray - "Test Execution contains required fields" although no blocking required field could be identi

Hello,

I'm facing an issue when creating a Test Execution from a Test Plan in Xray.

When clicking Create Test Execution from a Test Plan, Xray displays the following message:

"Test Execution contains required fields. Please use the Jira create issue dialog to create the new Test Execution."

Environment

  • Jira Cloud
  • Xray Cloud
  • Issue type: Test Execution

What I have already tested

  • I can create a Test Execution manually using the standard Jira "Create" dialog.
  • The Test Execution is created successfully without validation errors.
  • I reviewed the project's Field Configuration.
  • I identified required fields and temporarily changed custom required fields to optional for testing purposes.
  • The issue still occurs.
  • I verified the Create Screen used by Test Execution.
  • I added the suspected fields to the screen.
  • The issue still occurs.
  • I checked fields such as:
    • Business Priority
    • Team
    • Sprint
    • Security Level
  • No blocking field could be identified.
  • No Custom Test Run Fields are configured in Xray.
  • The problem only occurs when creating a Test Execution from a Test Plan through Xray.

Question

Is there a way to identify exactly which field Xray considers "required" when displaying this message?

Are there any Xray-specific configurations, validators, or hidden field requirements that can trigger this behavior even when manual Test Execution creation works correctly?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.image.png
