Getting "Field 'stage' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown." error

[Daman Malik]

When trying to create a story with Python using JIRA REST API, I am getting below error. Can someone please help here?

Code

....

import pandas as pd
from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA(
  basic_auth=("username", "password"), 
  options={
    'server': "https://jira.xyz.com"
  }
)

issue_dict = {
    'project': {'key': 'SE'},
    'summary': 'New issue from jira-python',
    'description': 'Look into this one',
    'issuetype': {'name': 'Story'},
    'stage':{'name':'Development'}
}

new_issue = jira.create_issue(fields=issue_dict)

...

Stage field contains dropdown values.

Error message: JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 400 url: https://jira.cvent.com/rest/api/2/issue text: Field 'stage' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown.

Important: 1) I am the admin of the project, so I believe will not face authentication problem

2) 'Stage' field is already added under Create Story Screen

Hello @Daman Malik 

Can you try to use the customfield_ID instead of the name field

'customfield_11300': {'name':'Development'}
