Hi @poovaraj

Try removing the square brackets [ ] from

"add": {

  "fixVersions": [

  {

  "set": {

  "name": "testing"

  }

  }

  ]

i.e. the fixVersions isn't in an array

Hello,

Make sure that the fixversion(s) is present on the Create issue screen for the Test issue type (project settings -> screens).

It is showing below error message after removing square brackets [ ]. Fix version field is displayed in create issue screen. Please find the below screenshot.

Error Message:

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"add":"Field 'add' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}}

JSON

{"fields":{"project":{"id":"244026"},"summary":" Demo","description":"Testing","issuetype":{"name":"Test"},"add":{"fixVersions":{"set":{"name":"tttt"}}}}}

I unable to add transition type filed also. It is showing same error message and it is available in create issue filed. Please let me know why is it showing error message while adding FixVersion & Transition field ?

Error Message :

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"transition":"Field 'transition' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}}

Adding transition field :

{

"fields": {

"project": {

"id": "244026"

"summary": "Demo",

"description": "Testing",

"transition": {

"id": "5"

"issuetype": {

"name": "Test"

}

Transition is not a field, it is an action, you need to give it a transition id to perform, with fields to be updated inside that.

Please have a look at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/?utm_source=%2Fcloud%2Fjira%2Fplatform%2Frest%2F&utm_medium=302#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueIdOrKey-transitions-post and see how a transition JSON is built properly.
