Creating an issue with POST request problem

Question

So, whenever I try to create an issue with the POST /rest/api/2/issue request, I get the "500 internal server error" and this is the request body I am adding:

{
"fields": {
"project": {
"key": "MOEMEN"
},
"summary": "Test 1",
"issuetype": {
"name": "Task"
},
"reporter": {
"accountId": "63fcd14e9cba7ca02876eac6"
}
}
}

Who knows a solution for this problem?

So when I try to create an issue without specifying a reporter I get this error:

"errors": { 1 item

"reporter": string "Reporter is required."

I am sure of the accountId cause I worked with it in the PUT request and I modified reporters

Hi @Moemen Dhifallah

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Your request looks basically fine. The only problem I could see might be the reporter and the accountId. Can you try to create an issue without specifying a reporter?

If this works, you might want to check if the accountId is correct.

Cheers,
Matthias.
