Configuring Jira

When comply creates a ticket (through proc, for instance), it sets the following fields.

• assignee
• description
• issuetype
• labels
• project key
• reporter
• summary

Please make sure that the default Create Screen has all of those fields enabled. Additionally, make sure that there are no other required fields for the issue type you choose.
