Hello,
The reporter field must be set with a Jira user, that is why you can not enter just a email.
Indeed, the system needs something to hang more data off.
An email address isn't good enough, as it doesn't define a user, tell us their permissions or display name (trust me, you don't want an email address as a display name), or any of the rest of it.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
