assignee field while creating jira ticket fails with 400

[ptripathi-twilio]

Describe the bug

When I try to assign a ticket to some while creating it, zapi fails with 4000 bad request.

jira create API payload log looks like this:
"fields":{"assignee":{"Password":"","name":"svc.koalat-jira"},"issuetype":{"name":"Test"},"labels":["MyMy"],"project":{"id":"23432"},"reporter":{"Password":"","name":"fgvg.rtf"},"summary":"TestVoid"}}

but I get a 400 error with msg like this:

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"assignee":"Field 'assignee' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}

To Reproduce

Assignee and Reporter need to be user IDs not usernames

i := jira.Issue{
		Fields: &jira.IssueFields{
			Assignee: &jira.User{
				AccountID: "userid",
			},
			Reporter: &jira.User{
				AccountID: "userid",
			},
			Description: description,
			Type: jira.IssueType{
				Name: JIRA_DETAILS.IssueType,
			},
			Project: jira.Project{
				Key: JIRA_DETAILS.ProjectKey,
			},
			Summary: summary,
		},
	}

It seems the user you're using to authenticate the call doesn't have the Assignable User permission or the fields are not in the Issue Create screen. @Dynatrace-Adam-Gardner the User ID (account-ID) is required only on the Cloud version, on Jira On-Prem is the Username value
