Description
When using the JIRA REST API to get issue creation metadata we hit (GET) the following route:
/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?expand=projects.issuetypes.fields
See https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/issue-getCreateIssueMeta for documentation about that route.
We expect to get the issue creation data with issue types and fields expanded, however we get an error response:
<status> <status-code>500</status-code> <stack-trace>java.lang.NullPointerException</stack-trace> </status>
The stack trace isn’t really helpful. What could be wrong or how could we investigate further?
JIRA Server Build 6336
Version 6.3.6

We found the following log:
