Error assigning issue after upgrading to JIRA 4.4.

[Ryan Grimard]

Since upgrading JIRA from 4.3 to 4.4, I am unable to assign an issue. I'm new to JIRA. The following error occurs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Error occurred while creating issue. This could be due to a plugin being incompatible with this version of JIRA. For more details please consult the logs, and see: http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/3McB com.opensymphony.user.User cannot be cast to com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

This could be one of many plugins that is not uptodate with respect to jira 4.4 - or you don't have the latest version... look at your workflow and see what the post-functions are. If nothing special there take a look at the listeners.

I'm getting the assignee from a custom field using a plugin called issue-alternative-assignee (com.iamhuy.jira.plugin.issue-alternative-assignee).

[Ryan Grimard]

Is there another way to do this?

[Ryan Grimard]

Shoot. Looks like 4.4 is not yet supported...

You could write your own plugin but first I'd ask Huy Phan when he plans to updade it.

A few people have already asked in the last few days. I'll monitor. Thanks again.
