I am not able o find any reason in the logs for such an internal server error. It seems that Jira is not allowing to write/update the state field of the Sprint entity. "State" is working the "read only" for sprint.

Our Jira version: 8.13.1

It is in some cases, as stated in the doc.

But I'd not expect it to give an internal server error if you try to set the state when it's not allowed, you do need to track that down by reading the application log.

Yes, the state is ok to set. Still it is not allowing it.

Whether the state is read-only in Jira ????
