Field 'summary' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown.

Hey,

I am trying to create an EPIC using JAVA Client but I am getting the following exception - Field 'summary' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown.

can you tell me how to overcome this exception because Summary field is already enabled in the screens scheme

Hi Nitesh - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Can you give some more details about the JAVA client you are using or the process you are actually using to create the issue. 

[Nitesh Rao Mummidi]

I used the following dependencies

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>jira-rest-java-client-core</artifactId>
<version>5.2.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.atlassian.fugue</groupId>
<artifactId>fugue</artifactId>
<version>4.7.2</version>
</dependency>

And Made an authentication using the JIRA Token

and used the following to creating one EPIC

String issueKey = "";
try {
this.restClient = getJiraRestClient();
IssueRestClient issueClient = restClient.getIssueClient();
ProjectRestClient projectClient = restClient.getProjectClient();

IssueType issType = new IssueType(this.getJiraUri(),issueType,issueSummary,false,"",null);


IssueInputBuilder iib = new IssueInputBuilder();
iib.setProjectKey("EDX");
iib.setSummary("Test Summary");
iib.setIssueType(issType);
iib.setDescription("Test Description");
iib.setPriorityId(3L);
iib.setDueDate(new DateTime());

IssueInput issue = iib.build();
BasicIssue issueObj = issueClient.createIssue(issue).claim();

//return getIssue(issueKey);
return issueObj.getKey();
}
catch(Exception e) {
return issueKey;
}

Any solution here?

Hi Benedikt - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You should open a new question with the specifics of your problem.

Make sure the summary is on the screen, and that the credentials for your REST call have the right to create issues in the project.

Adding here for anyone having similar issues:

In my case the screen had the field (seen in the screen configuration of the project and the relevant issue type). 

Next was using the permission helper to figure out other issues: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/jira-admin-helper-938847791.html 

It told me that the permissions were ok, but an error also mentioned to grant a Jira Service Management license to the account. This was the issue in my case.
