Validation error; incorrect data type for custom field

[aschriner]

I have a required custom field (story points/estimate). When I submit an issue via the Sentry-> Jira integration, the request fails, apparently because the value for the custom field is sent as a string, not as a numerical value.

The request POST data contains "customfield_00124": "2"

The error is: "Operation value must be a number".

This basically renders the integration unusable :(
