Can not create issue without description (use jira API)

Сергей Жуков

Is description field mandatory?

I use jenkins plugin "jira step" to create new issue (of course it can be jenkins plugin error). Plugin call jira API

My pipeline code

def newIssue = [fields: [
   project: [key: 'DOM2019PRE'],
   issuetype: [id: issueType.id],
   summary: 'AA'
]]

response = jiraNewIssue issue: newIssue, site: GlobalParams.jiraName
echo response.successful.toString()
echo response.data.toString()

as the result i see

JIRA: Site - JTC - Creating new issue: IssueInput(update=null, fields={project={key=DOM2019PRE}, issuetype={id=10200}, summary=AA})
Error Code: 400
Error Message: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"description":"Field 'description' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}}

I have the same problem.
When I create the issue via the UI the description field cannot be set and is not required.
But I am not able to create an issue via jiraNewIssue without description...
