The work item required field must be filled to be created

The work item required field must be filled to be created

 Problem

Items are not being synchronized from Jira to Azure, and the below error is visible in the logs:

Error checking for issue key from work item. Work item #0000 doesn't contain field "<field-name>"

 Solution

This error happens because a required field in the creation screen in Azure DevOps exists that has not been mapped in TFS4JIRA or whose mapped field in Jira is empty.

To solve this, ensure the Azure DevOps required field is always populated in the mapped Jira field or set the required Azure DevOps to be optional to prevent stopping the initial and continuous synchronization.

This error can occur in TFS4JIRA Self-Hosted and TFS4JIRA Cloud Native.
