There is a required Perforce job field configured in jobspec, which isn't mapped to any JIRA custom fields.
The JIRA issue was submitted with option to create Perforce job, but no value was entered for the custom field mapped to a required Perforce Job field
Resolution
Map a custom field in JIRA to the required Perforce job field, from the 'Map Custom Fields' link from the 'Perforce Job Integration' page.
If the Perforce job field is not really required then edit your Perforce jobspec to remove or make the Perforce job field optional.
