Dear @Salesforce Integration ,

if it worked before and you didn't change anything in your client rest call, the cause is most probably: The REST API changed.

Its a cloud product that continuously changes. Have a look at the API DOC. In the example they do not use "name" for the reporter but it's ID:

"reporter": {
"id": "5b10a2844c20165700ede21g"
},

So long

Thomas
