Error when trying to reassign an issue that is in progress

When Developer A has an issue in progress and Developer B tries to click on "Assign this issue to me", there is an error. There is also an error when you try to do a Bulk Change assigning to Developer B. The only way it will work is if you click "Edit Issue" and reassign the issue to Developer B and click Save.

Here is the error:
