(ERROR: value too long for type character varying(60)))

Notes

Basically what I think is happening is that the string 'Approbation par gestionnaire de modification/évaluation par les pairs' is too long for the field here (69 characters in length). I think this is a status name in Jira. These appear to be limited to a max of 60 characters for both mysql and postgres instances of Jira. In English I believe this translates to 'Change Manager / Peer Review Approval' (only 37 characters). It appears that Service Desk is trying to do a literal translation in regards to status values and in this case, that string is too long for French and the constraints of the database itself.

Workaround

1. Uninstall the Service Desk from Jira (Gear Icon -> Applications -> select the uninstall option for Service Desk)
2. Change the system language back to English
3. Reindexed
4. Reinstall JSD - Cog Icon -> Applications -> Try Service Desk link
5. In my case I had to restart in order to get JSD to load up properly.

At this point I was then able to create this project in Service Desk, however the status will be in English. While you could convert the system back to French, I do not expect this to change the status names back into a French equivalent. So this work-around is limited in its scope.
