Internal server error means something went wrong on the server side - the application logs should tell you what is going there.

Nothing jumps out at me.

No, not a problem, especially as I don't have a good answer!

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

That's exactly what we needed to see, but I'm afraid it doesn't help. This error has been seen a few times recently on Answers I've read, so I suspect there is a bug in JIRA that people are running into. I would raise this with Atlassian over at https://support.atlassian.com - I think it needs following up by their developers!

[James]

i logged a bug.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Great, thanks for that. I'd have done it, but I don't have the issue (yet), so I couldn't give them the logs and config data they'd need to replicate it!
