While using remote copy from one Jira instance to other default value set for priority is not considered.

Hi Team,

We are using Jira to Jira copy plugin between our two instances Jira1 & Jira2. For the mandatory fields of Jira1 which are not available in Jira2 we have set default values.

Likewise we have set default value for Priority also.ie in Jira2 issue priority is not a mandatory field so for tickets in which priority is not set Remote copy is throwing the error: Priority This field is mandatory in the target project, but field value(s) for this field could not be mapped to valid values in the target project. But for other custom fields which are not available/set in Jira2 while remote copying default value is considered. Why its not considered for Priority? Please help we are really stuck with this issue.
