How should I handle required JIRA custom fields when creating issue from testlink

[Ritu Jain]

I have a working integration between JIRA and Testlink. I am able to attach existing defects from JIRA to testlink test executions.

however when I try to create a new defect I get the following error

"addIssue:Failure:JIRA Message: customfield_10051 => Severity is required."

I have a severity field for a issue type "Bug" in JIRA that is mandatory.

I have tries to add this to the configuration in testlink as follows. it did not work.

Please advice.

<issuetracker>
<username>userid</username>
<password>password!</password>
<uribase>ourserver</uribase>
<uriview>ourserver/issue/</uriview>
<userinteraction>1</userinteraction>
<projectkey>OBJY</projectkey>
<issuetype>1</issuetype>
<attributes>
<customFieldValues>
 <customfield>
  <customfieldId>customfield_10051</customfieldId>
  <type>Select</type>
  <values><value>Wrong Behavior</value></values>
 </customfield>
</customFieldValues>
</attributes>
</issuetracker>

Did you get any solution for this? We also have Severity as a custom field with a list of values and I need to pass the value while creating a bug.

Can you check the definition of your customfield 10051 (Severity) to see if it is restricted to a specific set of values. 

The normal behaviour for Severity is that it is a select from a list of options. Your request should therefore match one of these predefined options.
