Why can't I create a new ADO work item

I have a live connection with ADO and can successfully import work items.  the 2 way sync is enabled.
When I try to create an item, it pulls in all the expected fields to be populated, and when the Create button is pressed, the card appears on the spark board and fails to create.

The State field was not in the list of fields to be populated before pressing Create, which seems OK as the state should b defaulted to new for a freshly created item.

Hi ​@Astrid_G, thank you for posting in the community. As a first step, would you mind sharing the following information to help us better understand the issue you’re experiencing? 

  • Could you confirm if the affected item types are custom item types?
  • Could you confirm if your mandatory fields are custom fields?
  • A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output after reproducing the issue. You can open your Javascript Console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+J (if your computer is a Windows/Linux) OR Cmd+Opt+J (if your computer is a Mac).
  • Could you also try this in a new blank board to see if the issue persists there? 

Thank you in advance for your help and patience. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!

Hi ​@Leianne C 

  1. Its a standard WIT - User Story
  2. Two of the mandatory fields are custom, one is freeform text, one is a choice field.
  3. Here’s the java screenshot
  1. Same problem persists in a new blank board.
