Get an error on creation any issue "We can't create this issue for you right now"

[Alex Pogan]

It happens on creation every issue

there are some records about "com.idalko.jira.plugins.igrid.providers" but issues don't have any custom fields from Table Grid Editor  (but in common TGE plugin is used)

Can anybody help with that?

Hello,

Looking at the stacktrace

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
 at com.idalko.jira.plugins.igrid.providers.DataUtils.getOptions(DataUtils.java:694)
 at com.idalko.jira.plugins.igrid.providers.hibernate.DataSourceProvider.getDynItems(DataSourceProvider.java:328)

 at com.idalko.jira.plugins.igrid.grid.type.ListColumnType.populateQueryProperties(ListColumnType.java:140)

The grid tries to get the options of a dropdown column but bumps into a nullpointer exception.

Please raise an issue on our support portal, with the details of this issue, the version (+ family) of the table grid editor in use, and the version (+ family) of the jira

[family is something like jira software ...]

Thanks for your reply

https://support.idalko.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/5/SOLV-3960

According to log it looks like the grid tries to get the options of a dropdown column. But why? there are no TGE custom fields on screens of issues we are creating

[francis]

Can you check all the table grid editor custom fields and make sure that the custom field context is limited to the projects where you are using the custom field.

[Alex Pogan]

frankly speaking, most of TGE custom fields have global context (all issues, all projects)

but they are used only at specific project screens

what does global context mean ? I'm not very good at understanding how it works.

Are custom fields initialised if they are not on screens ? 

Are there any ways to switch on extra logging for idalko in JIRA to get more details on the problem? To understand what custom field bumps into a nullpointer exception.

[francis]

Global context means that the custom field is available for all projects and issuetypes.

Whenever you initialise the grid, it will be initialised for all the issues that are being created - even when not on a screen.

Can I advice you to work with an Atlassian Certified Professional.  They will be able to point you in the right direction.  There is a cost associated (in most cases), but it is a good learning experience.

[Alex Pogan]

@francis Thanks a lot

You gave me a clue

I've checked all the TGE custom fields. I've found one that contains another single option CF with a wrong ID as a source for a column. As a result, it was a crash on creation every issue type because of an error on TGE CF initialization.

So we made a mistake in the script for a TGE custom field default value. But it was hard to understand the cause of the problem because of a lack of details in logs.

[francis]

Yup - understood.

It is one of the reasons why we started with the table grid next generation - simplify the configuration.

Is it solved now?

[Alex Pogan]

Solved

[Andrew]

Hi

 issues don't have any custom fields

Are You sure? The custom fields are associated with issue through Screen schemes and through 'custom field' configuration.

Could You please check that the idalko field not used in the screens (check also screen in workflow transition) and in 'custom fields' panel?

B.R.

[Alex Pogan]

Yes, unfortunately, I'm sure.

There are no Table grid editor custom fields on screens or workflow transition.

It seems that some idalko custom field is initialized. But why?

The problem occurs on every issue type. So we can't create any issue now.

P.S. Cloning works well.
