Cannot create a Jira issue from Salesforce when including the 'Status' field in the binding./

[Alex Baker]

I am using Service Rocket in order to integrate Salesforce and Jira.

My problem is, I cannot create a Jira issue from Salesforce when including the 'Status' field in the binding.  

The ERROR i get is: 

JIRA VALIDATION FAILED

status: Field 'status' cannot be set.  It is not on the appropriate screen,  or unkonwn.

Note: when the 'status' field is excluded from the binding, it works fine.

Other relevant info: 

- If i associate an existing issue with a Salesforce case this works fine.

- If i update the status in jira, the status is updated in Salesforce fine

- If i update the status in Salesforce, nothing happens in Jira
