Hi,

I'm using Postman to test the REST API functionality of Jira. This previously worked (Q4-19) using the API token and basic auth, but when I tried testing again recently, I just get the following error:

{    "errorMessages": [        "Issue does not exist or you do not have permission to see it."    ],    "errors": {}}

I've searched this error and seen a number of articles, with this one (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/I-am-unable-to-get-the-API-Token-working-with-Postman-or-CURL/qaq-p/1364651) appearing to be a likely solution. I've followed the instructions of Encoding my API Token to BASE64 and added that to the header, but I still get the same error message

The Token I've been using is the same one I use via Curl, so I know the Token itself is OK.

Thanks in advance for any help
