JIRA shows blank page when trying to add a lot of issue types to an Issue Type Scheme

Summary

When adding 200+ (I tested with 300) issue types to an Issue Type Scheme, clicking on Save will lead to a blank page. The issue types are not added to the scheme and cannot be added at all

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Issue Type Scheme
2. Create 300 issue types in JIRA
   • I used the following shell script

     #!/bin/bash
     counter=1
     while [ $counter -lt 300 ]; do
     curl -u admin:admin -X POST --data '{"name": "'$counter'","description": "description","type": "standard"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/jira/rest/api/2/issuetype
     echo $counter
     let counter=counter+1
     done
     echo All done
     

3. Edit the Issue Type Scheme and add all the available Issue Types to the scheme
4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page

Expected Results

1. All issue types are added successfully

Actual Results

1. You will be lead to a blank page with a super long URL
