Jira Python - Environment is required

A_mir Murtaza

I wrote a Jira-CLI script on Python that automate all issues commands.

The script working perfectly, until last week, the Admin of the account have made a few changes where he added Environment as choices field not optional but required.

So in my script when I create a new issue, I need to include Environment as required with other fields, but always getting an error from the server says:

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

if no environment was included, I get this error:

{"errorMessages": [], "errors":{"environment": "Environment is required"}}

I've also tried 'Environment' but the same thing!.

Since our account is paid I tried on my demo account, the script with environment included working fine without any errors.
