trying to create an issue, but the error says that a field is required, event though it is not

Noa Shay_byp7c7

hello, 

i'm trying to create an issue via jira's api, and this error returns:

{

"errorMessages": [

"Field Affects versions is required."

 ],

"errors": {}

}

but when I request from the jira api all the fields of that issue type, it says that the field 'Affects versions' is not required: (required: false)

"versions": {

"required": false,

"schema": {

"type": "array",

"items": "version",

"system": "versions"

 },

"name": "Affects versions",

"key": "versions",

"hasDefaultValue": false,

"operations": [

"set",

"add",

"remove"

 ],

also, when i'm trying to create the same issue in the jira ui, i'm getting the same error. (and you can see that this field is not required, like the field 'components'

how am i supposed to know that this field is required when i'm creating an issue via jiras api, if even the api says that its not?

 

thanks!

It looks like you are using a validator to make the field required, rather than doing it in the field configuration (if you did it in there, the * that indicates a field is mandatory would appear on the create screen)

You'll need to adjust your REST call such that it fills in a valid version, or remove the validator from the create transition.
