Thanks for your response @Danut M _StonikByte_

I am able to create a bug if I send :

{"customfield_10043":

{"value": "Major"}

}

* may I know how can I get the list of all expected values for this customfield (for example "Major")?

* I am also facing issue in creating feature and program epic and I am hoping to get help on this as well, below are the details:

Input:

{        "fields": {        "project": {            "id": "102",            "key": "AK"         },        "summary": "JIRA OAUTH POC TESTING- issuetypes-feature",        "issuetype": {                        "name" : "Feature"        },        "assignee": {            "name": "user@domain.com"        },                "description": "testing Jira Rest endpoints",        "duedate": "2023-10-28"                   }} Output:{    "errorMessages": [],    "errors": {        "issuetype": "The issue type selected is invalid."    }}same way it responds when I use issuetype as "Program Epic""issuetype": {                        "name" : "Program Epic"        }Even if I send id in issuetype , I am getting the same error response. Can you please help troubleshooting all the above impediments?

Thanks,Madhura

Hi @Madhura Lodam,

As far as I can see, the error is caused by the fact that a required field (Severity, with id "customfield_10043") was not provided in the JSON.

Add this field in the JSON with a valid value, as in this example:

fields": { 
         "customfield_10043": "Major",
        "project": {
            "id": "1020",
            "key": "AB" 
        },

Replace "Major" with a valid field value.

Hope this helps.

Danut.
