Hello,

The issue here is that JIRA doesn't know who the reporter of the issue should be. The easiest way to fix this is to add the -Reporter parameter, like this:

New-JiraIssue -Project TCJ -IssueType Bug -Fields @{'Security Level'= '10401'} -Summary 'Test issue from PowerShell' -Description 'this is the test descr. ' -Priority '1' -Reporter 'powershell-user'

Hello,

I got the same error with this :

New-JiraIssue -Project IPE -IssueType Incident -Priority 1 -Summary 'Test issue from PowerShell' -Description 'This is a test issue created from the PSJira module in PowerShell.'

Unable to identify issue reporter. You must provide either the -Reporter parameter or the -Credential parameter

I tried, like you suggested :

`New-JiraIssue -Project IPE -IssueType Incident -Priority 1 -Summary 'Test issue from PowerShell' -Description 'This is a test issue created from the PSJira module in PowerShell.' -Reporter 'Lucie'

Do you have any idea ? Its a 'business' type Project in Jira

Hey @z0ph - how do you normally create issues in this project through the Web interface? Do you need to specify a reporter, or does it default to something?

Hey @replicaJunction, Yes, i normally create issue through web, but there is no choice of reporter, please find a screenshot below.

This should be resolved in the latest version! See #64.
