Getting error while creating issue through rest api

[Ajay Venkatraman N]

Im trying to create an issue through rest api. My issue screen has three screens for filling details with a custom fields.

I formed an JSON to run the api, getting the below error.

"customfield_40838": "Field 'customfield_40838' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown.",

what could be the issue , is it because of different screens in the create issue?

Make sure that the custom field is added to the screen related to Create Issue operation.
