    Description

      Summary

      Setting the epic link field to null or a specific value causes the failure. The issue affect both remove and add issue (during the issue creation) to the Epic via the REST API.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Run REST call, eg:

      curl -v -uuser:pass -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"fields":{"summary":"test","issuetype":{"id":"1"},"project":{"id":"10300","key":"AG"},"customfield_10401":"AG-3" }}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/api/latest/issue

      note, call with payload without EpicLink (customfield_10401) is fine:

      '{"fields":{"summary":"test","issuetype":{"id":"1"},"project":{"id":"10300","key":"AG"} }}'

      Expected Results

      Works fine

      Actual Results

Request type: POST
Content type: application/json
Post data: {"fields":{"summary":"xxx","issuetype":{"id":"1"},"customfield_11261":"XXX-123","project":{"id":"51125","key":null}}}
Response code: 500, message: Internal Server 
{"errorMessages":["Internal server error"],"errors":{}}
