One of my users has reported that could not create issues using Redmine Java API:
org.redmine.ta.RedmineException: Priority can't be blank
at org.redmine.ta.RedmineManager.sendRequest(RedmineManager.java:270)
at org.redmine.ta.RedmineManager.createIssue(RedmineManager.java:167)
at org.redmine.ta.Simple.tryCreateIssue(Simple.java:90)
at org.redmine.ta.Simple.main(Simple.java:48)

I was trying to reproduce the problem on several different Redmine installs with Postgresql, MySQL, different Redmine versions, ...

It turned out the user didn't have a "default Issue priority" set in his Redmine administration panel.

A good solution here is for REST API to provide a list of existing priorities with IDs so that remote clients can use them. This is requested in #8596.

A minor easy fix would be to improve the error message: change it from

Priority can't be blank

to

Priority can't be blank. No default priority is set in the Redmine server settings. please use menu "Administration -> Enumerations -> Issue Priorities" to set the default priority.

Users will really appreciate nice error messages!

Etienne, I hope you don't mind if I assign this to you?
