Unable to bulk create issues via API v3

[meghana]

Hi, 

I've been using bulk create issue(/rest/api/3/issue/bulk) from a long time and it had been working fine until this last weekend.

Here is the request and error that I'm getting,

Request:

},
"customfield_10054": "d"
}
}
]
}

Error response:

{
"issues": [],
"errors": [
{
"status": 400,
"elementErrors": {
"errorMessages": [
"Overtime comment: Overtime comment is required."
],
"errors": {}
},
"failedElementNumber": 0
}
]
}

Can you please help resolve this issue?

HI Meghna,

From the error message it seems like there is a field "Overtime comment" which is a mandatory field for creating the ticket & is not present in your request body.

Might be something that has changed recently in your project configuration.
Please check that & I hope it will fix your problem.
