making a project with JIRA rest API. getting an Error as a response. But don't know the solutio-CodePudding

I am running Jira on docker. And making a simple rest API call to make a new project. But I am getting an error "You must specify a valid project lead". I AM indeed specifying a valid user called "userOne" that I have made on my server. Can someone help me out what the problem is? I have attached a picture of the POST request that I am making and the response that I am getting.

Additionally: the user that I am trying to make as a the lead is an ACTIVE user, The screeenshot for that is attached below too.[in case that is something that can cause problems]

CodePudding user response：

userOne is the full name of you user. The endpoint is expecting the username (which is unique across the whole instance), try changing it to user1.
