Insert JIRA Issue does not set reporter correctly in JIRA 5.0.3 and later

XMLWordPrintable

      I could not create a JIRA issue from confluence because some mandatory fields were not available.

      Repro steps:
      ------------
      1) Edit a confluence page
      2) Choose Insert > JIRA Issue in the editor toolbar.
      3) The 'Insert JIRA Issue' popup window will appear.
      4) Click Create New Issue in the left-hand panel.
      5) Enter the requested information (the issue type I tried was "bug") and press insert.

      This is the error message:

      There were errors creating an issue in JIRA. Some required fields may not be available on this form. Try creating this issue in JIRA
      
          reporter: Reporter is required.
          Reporter is required.

      The field reporter is not available.
