Confiforms IFTT Integration with JIRA - User "field cannot be set" error although field populated

Question

I have a reporter field in ConfiForms set to User field type as follows:

For SOME users (working for me when I try to submit the form) the following error occurs indicating that the reporter field cannot be set

IFTTT Rule

#set($typeid = "[entry.type.id]")

{
  "fields": {
   "project": { "key": "XX" },
   "issuetype": { "name": "Story" },
   "priority": { "name": "[entry.priority.label]" },
   "reporter": { "name": "[entry.reporter.username]" },
   ...
  }
}

If this happens for some users then it means it is a permissions issue.

The field must be on a create screen and your users should have permissions to set it. Most probably your users that receive an error from Jira have no permissions to set this field.

The JIRA project already has a reporter field

This issue also only happens for some user. When I submit myself, everything works as expected and no error is present.

Looks like the Reporter field needs to be added to Create or Edit screens in some Jira projects
