Custom field do not appear as an option to set when creating project automation rule

[Gloria Landsberg]

Hello Jira fellows, 

I have a question in regards project automation rule creation. 

When I create the rule, there is an option to choose fields to set, but the fields I need - "programme team" does not appear in the list to choose from. 

when creating the issue manually this custom field is available, but as you see it's not available when automating the creation of the issue. 

Same with another custom field - story points, we are setting the rule to put "1" when creating the story, but when the automation is ran, it shows an error : 

Can someone please advise how I can fix this? Or suggest a reason why this rule can't accept those custom fields to be set automatically. 
Is the reason because they are custom fields? 

any thoughts or advise are highly appreciated.

Hi Gloria,

Do a double check on the context for each field to be sure they are available for both the IM project and the Managed Change issue type.

Go to Settings > Issues > Custom Fields

Search for the field

Click the 3 dot menu on the right hand side and select Contexts and default values

Modify as needed.
