function New-JiraIssue
{
    <#
    .Synopsis
       Creates an issue in JIRA
    .DESCRIPTION
       This function creates a new issue in JIRA.
 
       Creating an issue requires a lot of data, and the exact data may be
       different from one instance of JIRA to the next. To identify what data
       is required for a given issue type and project, use the
       Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata function provided in this module.
 
       Some JIRA instances may require additional custom fields specific to that
       instance of JIRA. In addition to the parameterized fields provided in
       this function, the Fields parameter accepts a hashtable of field names /
       IDs and values. This allows users to provide custom field data when
       creating an issue.
    .EXAMPLE
       Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata -Project TEST -IssueType Bug | ? {$_.Required -eq $true}
       New-JiraIssue -Project TEST -IssueType Bug -Priority 1 -Summary 'Test issue from PowerShell' -Description 'This is a test issue created from the PSJira module in PowerShell.' -Fields {'Custom Field Name 1'='foo';'customfield_10001'='bar';}
       This example uses Get-JiraIssueCreateMetadata to identify fields required
       to create an issue in JIRA. It then creates an issue with the Fields parameter
       providing a field name and a field ID.
    .INPUTS
       This function does not accept pipeline input.
    .OUTPUTS
       [PSJira.Issue] The issue created in JIRA.
