Perl script with JIRA REST-API to create JIRA along with custom field - perl

Question

We are unable to create the new ticket in Jira using REST-API via Perl script.
Note: Without custom field script successfully executing. please provide the suggestion to add a custom field in my script.
Screenshot for the custom field.
Error Message:
JIRA::REST Error[400 - Bad Request]:
- [custom_field] Field 'custom_field' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown.at copy_of_new-jira.pl line 16.
Perl Script :

# Create the ticket using post function
my $issue = $jira->POST('/issue', undef, {

Answer 1

It looks like you're missing some quote marks in your fields->custom_field data structure:
# Create the ticket using post function
my $issue = $jira->POST('/issue', undef, {
fields => {
project => { key => 'TIME' },
issuetype => { name => 'Task' },
summary => '20-7-2018 checking field persent or not',
description => 'test',
custom_field => { 'Epic Link' => 'Application Framework'},
},
});
There's also a typo in summary, but presumably that doesn't matter too much.
