Problem

Your bodyData is not a valid json

Solution

Wrap it with {}

  `{
    fields: {
      "summary": "Summit 2019 is awesome!",
      "issuetype": {
        "name": "Task"
      },
      "project": {
        "key": "LOD"
      },
      "description": {
        "type": "doc",
        "version": 1,
        "content": [
          {
            "type": "paragraph",
            "content": [
              {
                "text": "This is the description.",
                "type": "text"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }`

P.S. You would find this error if you would use JSON.stringify with an object instead of a string.

const bodyData = JSON.stringify(
  {
    fields: {
      "summary": "Summit 2019 is awesome!",
      "issuetype": {
        "name": "Task"
      },
      "project": {
        "key": "LOD"
      },
      "description": {
        "type": "doc",
        "version": 1,
        "content": [
          {
            "type": "paragraph",
            "content": [
              {
                "text": "This is the description.",
                "type": "text"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  });
