      However, it is possible to populate a negative Story Points field value if the update is made via CSV import or Rest API.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Import a story issue to a project via CSV wherein the file has a negative value set for the "Story Points" field
      Summary, Story Poits
test, -100000000

      (or)

      • Run an "Edit issue" API call to update the story points field with a negative value. 
        curl --request PUT \
  --url 'https://instancename.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/{{issuekey}}' \
  --user '<email>:<API>' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
"fields": {
"customfield_10024": -50
}
}'
