Create issue : Test link integration with jira

Question

I've integrated Testlink with Jira using below xml

<issuetracker>
    <username>xyz</username>
    <password>#123</password>
    <uribase>abc.net/projects/KEY/</uribase>
    <uriapi>abc.net/rest/api/latest/</uriapi>
    <uriview>abc.net/browse/</uriview>
    <projectkey>KEY</projectkey>
    <issuetype>1</issuetype>
</issuetracker>

I am able to link existing jira issue in to test link.

But create issue window contains Version field which would not alow me to enter any value or not giving any suggestion as displayed in below image.

I've tried to create version in jira but it doesn't work.

So,

1. What value i should enter/configure for version field ?

2. What is use of <issuetype>1</issuetype> ? can we provide any other value?

3. How to link new field on create Issue window?

4.Version is mismatched with jira field Versions.

I'm not sure which version of JIRA REST API you are using but the tutorial for the v2 says:

Just like everyone else in the real world, we're faced with time and resource constraints. Supporting two serialisation formats requires more time than just a single one. Hence, for our initial release of the JIRA REST API, we decided to provide "more stuff in JSON" rather than "less stuff in JSON and XML".

So I'm not sure about the XML support. I have no experience with Testlink, but I guess it's using some kind of serialiser at the back end.

1. If you check the Create issue endpoint, there is no version field. I guess it will be the versions field instead. In JIRA projects can have multiple versions. You can get a list of versions from the Get project eversions endpoint.
2. Issue type is an ID of issue type you want to use for your issue. You can get a list of project specific issue types from the Get issue all types endpoint.
3. I'm not sure about this
