From the response we can deduce that a custom_field called "person" is missing in the params. From the response we can conclude that as a dropdown field configured with the choices "First Person, Second Person,Third Persson, fourth Person, Fifth'" Also it is marked as "Required when submitting the form" in agent's behaviour. The following JSON will work




{ "description": "Details about the issue...", "subject": "Support Needed...", "email": "tom@outerspace.com", "priority": 1, "status": 2, "cc_emails": ["ram@freshdesk.com","diana@freshdesk.com"], "custom_fields" : { "person": "First Person" } }
