Field is not on appropriate screen or unknown

Hussein Dahash

I get an error which states that the fields 'summary' and 'description' cannot be set because it is either unknown or not in appropriate screen.

I have seen many topics relating to this issue and I most likely suspect it to be an issue with authorization because I have added both fields to my screen.

My code is:

import {
IHttp,
IModify,
IRead,
@} from '@rocket.chat/apps-engine/definition/accessors';
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
import {
ISlashCommand,
SlashCommandContext,
@} from '@rocket.chat/apps-engine/definition/slashcommands';

export class n implements ISlashCommand {
public command = 'n';
public i18nParamsExample = '';
public i18nDescription = '';
public providesPreview = false;

public async executor(context: SlashCommandContext, read: IRead, modify: IModify, http: IHttp): Promise<void> {

const supply = {"fields": {"project": {"key": "HUS"},"Summary": "TEST the API","Description": "testing API","issuetype": {"name": "Bug"}}}
const text = "username:password"
const encoded = Buffer.from(text, 'utf8').toString('base64');
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/', {
  method: 'post',
  body: JSON.stringify(supply),
  headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Basic ' + encoded},
});
const responseText = await response.text();
};
};

Is this how you authorise a request with API or not?

This is what you think it is.  If your fields are on an issue-type's edit screen, then you can get a "not on screen / unknown" message when you have not authenticated correctly because you won't be able to see the screen you're trying to use.
