When I try to copy a JIRA issue to another JIRA instance using JIRA to JIRA remote copy, I get a 500 internal server error (Java Nullpointer Exception) when the issue has a link pointing to an external site. The issue is still copied, however the links are not copied over to the new issue.
As soon as I remove the external link from the source issue and try to copy again, no error occurs.
java.lang.NullPointerException
