      Workaround

      1. Backup the server.xml file.
      2. Edit the server.xml file and add the parameter below in the Connector used for JIRA: 
        maxParameterCount="-1"

        Example:

        <Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" maxParameterCount="-1"/>
      3. Restart JIRA.
