Hello @arikevin

Sorry to hear you are facing this problem.

Checking the logs you provided and the error message that appears to you when you try to access the workflow scheme page, I believe the error is being caused by an existing workflow draft with a null name in your Jira instance just like mentioned in the documentation below:

- NullPointerException while viewing workflow scheme with draft 

Please, try the following steps to confirm if this is the problem and fix it:

Diagnostic Steps

In the database, you'll see a draft Workflow Scheme, with no name or description:

jira=# select * from draftworkflowscheme;
  id   | name | description | workflow_scheme_id |     last_modified_date     | last_modified_user
-------+------+-------------+--------------------+----------------------------+--------------------
 10700 |      |             |              12201 | 2015-09-14 13:06:28.772+02 | admin
(1 row)

And in the entity table:

jira=# select * from draftworkflowschemeentity;
  id   | scheme |                   workflow                   | issuetype
-------+--------+----------------------------------------------+-----------
 10700 |  10700 | Agile Simplified Workflow for Project PROJ | 0
 10701 |  10700 | Agile Simplified Workflow for Project PROJ | 1
 10702 |  10700 | Agile Simplified Workflow for Project PROJ | 2
 10703 |  10700 | Agile Simplified Workflow for Project PROJ | 3
(5 rows)

Resolution

P.S: Always back up your data before performing any modifications to the database. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.

1. Delete any drafts with a NULL value in the name column by running the following SQL commands against JIRA's database:
   

   delete from draftworkflowschemeentity where scheme IN (select id from draftworkflowscheme where name is NULL);
   delete from draftworkflowscheme where name is NULL;

2. Restart JIRA.

Let me know if the steps above worked for you.
