    Description

      A CreateIssue in a Jelly script with an invalid or missing project key fails, but with a not particularly useful error message.

      Here is the Jelly script:

      <JiraJelly xmlns:jira="jelly:com.atlassian.jira.jelly.JiraTagLib">
  <jira:CreateIssue project-key="ABC" summary="It is broken" assignee="idaniel" reporter="idaniel"/>
</JiraJelly>

      It fails with the following message:

      <JiraJelly xmlns:jira='jelly:com.atlassian.jira.jelly.JiraTagLib'>
  <Error action='CreateIssueDetails'>
    <TagContents>(CreateIssue(summary=It is broken)(reporter=idaniel)(project-key=ABC)(assignee=idaniel))</TagContents>
    <ExecutedAs>user=idaniel</ExecutedAs>
    <ErrorMessage>Tag CreateIssue requires (jelly.username, jelly.project.id) variables to be set in the Context</ErrorMessage>
  </Error>
</JiraJelly>

      I get the same error message if I create it without a project-key attribute, or with project-key="".

      Any chance of a more meaningful message, for example, you must specify project-key, or project-key is not for an existing project?

      Cheers,
      Ian

          Suggestion - JRASERVER-12984 CreateIssue without specifying reporter fails if the user has Modify Reporter privilege. This could be done better.
