I am able to create JIRA subtasks manually but when I use Postman POST request for doing the same I am getting below error.
"The default assignee does NOT have ASSIGNABLE permission OR Unassigned issues are turned off"
I am following the same steps explained at https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/about-the-jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-create-issue?_ga=2.266412365.272927713.1514442347-2114113685.1505727766#JIRARESTAPIExample-CreateIssue-Exampleofcreatinganissueusingprojectkeysandfieldnames
Using below data for my POST request:
{
"fields":
{
"project":
{
"key": "XX"
},
"parent":
{
"key": "XXX-3604"
},
"summary": "Some text",
"description": "some text",
"issuetype":
{
"id": "10",
"assignee":
{
"name": "username"
}
}
}
}
Can anyone help me pointing out to the issue as creating subtask is manually possible. Is there any other setting required before creating sub-task through REST API's.
Please help, its urgent!

{
"fields":
{
"project":

"description": "Don't forget to do this too.",
"issuetype":
{
"id": "5"
}
}
}

I'm using the user name itself.
Also, as mentioned I tried creating sub task without giving username but still I was getting same error.
Is there any other resolution for the same.

Hello,
Make sure that you provide user name not the user display name.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
As the error message says, your code is not setting a valid assignee.
You need to set it to a valid user, one who has the "can be assigned issues" permission, or leave it out completely and make sure the global setting for "allow unassigned issues" is on.

I'm setting it to a valid user. And after your suggestion I removed assignee value from my POST data. Still getting same error. I also want to mention that I'm able to assign to that user manually.
Also, please tell me how to ensure global setting "allow unassigned issues" is ON.
Appreciate your prompt response.

You clearly are not setting it to a valid user. The error message clearly states that it is trying to use the default assignee in the project, and that user does not have the right to be assigned issues.
Go back to the basics:
What user is performing this request? Do they have the right to assign issues?
What username are you sending? The login id? Is that user assignable?

The issue is resolved now. It was not because of incorrect user rather the syntax of JSON body I was sending.
I wrote assignee inside the issuetype key but it should be used outside as separate key. It worked after that.
"issuetype":
{
"id": "10"
},
"assignee":
{
"name": "username"
}
