Jira Core 8.20.0 update

October 22, 2021

Hello guys.
Currently the core version installed on my server is Jira Core 8.3.2, running Jira Software 8.3.2 and JIRA Service Desk 4.3.2.
My question is: can I update to Jira Core version 8.20.0? Will the two applications have no problems running correctly if I don't update their version on them?


I thank everyone in advance for the answers

Francesco

Hi Mihai,

Judging from the exceptions, it looks like the problem arise due to JIRA Toolkit plugin:

  • com.atlassian.jira.toolkit.customfield.NullCFType.getVelocityParameters(NullCFType.java:51)

Upon further investigation on the exceptions, I found that there's a bug report created to address the issue:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-19556

From the bug report, it seems that there's a possible workaround for this problem, which is by removing the supporttools field. Hence, can you kindly check the list of custom fields via Administration > Custom Fields, and see if there's any field of type supporttools? And if there's any, you may try to remove it and let's see if it helps.

Cheers,

Ahmad

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-19556 does not apply. I have no supporttools custom fields. As I said in the original report, disabling the Support Tool Bar module does work around the problem, but it doesn't seem to be the same module referred in JRA-19556.
