[Antonella Capalbo · Accepted solution]

Hello,
Could you please let me know the installed Jira and add-on versions?
Furthermore, could you please check if the target project/issue type expects a value for a required field and no default value has been setup?

Sincerely,
Antonella

hi hello！

JIRA :7.0.10

Herzum Quick Linker:4.7.1-JIRA-7.0-7.1

I already check the target issue type expects a value for a required field already has been set default value .

I try some times , if the parent issue description doesn't include URL address link，creat the new issue is  succeed，but only include URL address link ，the created action fail.

Hi Colincy,

The bug has been reproduced case of the Description field includes the character '&' and the field is required on the target issue type.

My only perplexity stays in the logs not addressing to the same error.

Could you please update the add-on version to the latest and let me have new logs at my email address antonella.capalbo@herzum.com.

Furthermore, could you please confirm the mentioned scenario?

Sincerely,

[colincy]

hi，Antonella Capalbo after updating the latest version, the problem is solved.thank you very much！
