Create a new ticket with fields from an existing ticket

[ABCD]

Hi,

I am trying to create a new ticket from an existing ticket. (similar to cloning but I dont want the history to appear)

Im using Jira-Python REST handle for this and did this so far.

jira = JIRA(options=jira_options, basic_auth=credentials)
issue = jira.issue('CT-72836')
t = issue.fields
newissue= jira.create_issue(fields=t)

But im thrown with this traceback. I even tried to cast t in to a dict but that didnt work either.
Is there any possible way of getting this done without a plugin

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Users\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\jira\client.py", line 1077, in create_issue
p = data['fields']['project']
TypeError: 'type' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
>>> newissue= jira.create_issue(t)
Traceback (most recent call last):

p = data['fields']['project']
