      NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Software Server. Using JIRA Software Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      When bulk editing the Epic Link field the following error is thrown. In JIRA 6+ the error only appears in the logs. Older versions of JIRA show in the bulk edit confirmation screen.

      Impact
