hi @Anjani Doolla  and welcome to the community,

The first thing I noticed is:

 "project": {
   "id": "OCTSAP"
 },

 If you replace "id", with "key" you should be fine. If you want to use the "id" (which is a number) you should first find it. Below is an example of how it is stored in Jira:

Here you can see that the id is 10035 and the key PM

Kind regards,
Rudy
