I can be able to create a JIRA issue with the type of BUG How to create this issue under already created epic on my project.

I just figured it out

Simply query the fields
https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=TEST&issuetypeNames=Bug&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields 


And attach the epic link field ID as customfield_#### in the request that pointing to the TEST-12

for me it was
I just referenced the customfield with epic link issue ID
customfield_10013 : "TEST-12"

Thanks
