Hi @Sue 

Would recommend you to check on the lexorank - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/understand-the-lexorank-managment-page-in-jira-server-779159218.html

Thanks Fazila.

The linked documentation is not very helpful.

I am still battling with this. Attached is view of the log and the errors we get when trying to open Roadmaps

Hi @Sue 

So running the integrity checks on the lexorank management page did not help?

The errors are highlighting the lexoranking.. Please contact Atlassian support with the logs..  they would be able to analyze more and recommend a fix
