Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
Upon project import, if a customfield has an invalid context please throw a better exception or perhaps even just ignore the field entirely and show a warning (since it doesn't have a valid context it doesn't show up anywhere and thus can't have any data).
Andreas Knecht has offered the following ideas on this:
I think the BackupOverBuilderImpl.getCustomFieldConfigurations() method could have a try catch or something for this problem and then print the appropriate warning.
The reason for this is currently if an import is done with a field invalid context an NPE is thrown giving no more information about the problem.
Current error:
