Archive for burningcode's Jira Watchers Custom Field plugin

[henryweilo]

My team is trying to upgrade our Jira server from 7.3.0 to one of the new LTS versions (8.3.x or 8.13.x), but we ran into an exception related to the watchers plugin while re-indexing. I assume this is because our jira server is running an old version of the plugin (2.6.12), so I'm wondering if anyone has an updated version of the plugin or a link to the plugin's archive.

I've already tried finding the link to the archive but no success so far. Here's the log of the exception for good measure:

Hi @henryweilo ,

One solution I can suggest is to delete the plugin from backend, restart jira and start reindex. 

This plugin is no more available in the marketplace. Many users have faced similar issues .
