What can cause HTTPError: reporter: The reporter specified is not a user

[Mont]

I am receiving the error: HTTPError: reporter: The reporter specified is not a user.

When I go through the GUI and manually create an issue I a able to add myself as a reporter with my name, with no problem.

However, when using python API, I am specifiying the reporter as a paramter in the clal and I am not able to add myself as a reporter. I have tried looking at documentation for this but I cannot find anything. Code below.

jira_response = jira_client.create_issue(

fields= {

"project": {

"id": '<number>',

"summary": 'test',

"description": 'Misconfiguration',

'reporter': {'name': 'Firstname Lastname'},

"issuetype": {

"name": "Task"

},

})

Does anyone know what can cause this:?
