How to set reporter in Jira REST API 5.x while creating a issue?

[Mani Chellamuthu]

HI,

I am creating issues using Jira REST API 5.x. I tried following syntax,

"reporter": [{"set":{"name":"UserName"}}]

"reporter": [{"set":[{"name":"UserName"}]}]

The error was,

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"reporter":"data was not an object"}}

Please guide me to resolve it.

The following syntax worked instead of "reporter": [{"set":{"name":"UserName"}}] for REST API,

"assignee":{"name":"test.user1"} or "reporter":{"name":"test.user1"}
