Updating epic link field through REST causes 500 Internal Error

XMLWordPrintable

      Was raised as part of a support ticket.
      This seems to be caused because the EpicLinkCFType returns an IssueImpl object, which at the side of JIRA gets casted to a String (which throws an exception) (see TextCustomFieldOperationsHandler.getInitialValue()).
      It's considered to be a TextCustomFieldOperationsHandler because of this check in CustomFieldImpl:

      public RestFieldOperationsHandler getRestFieldOperation()
    {
        CustomFieldType customFieldType = getCustomFieldType();
        if (customFieldType instanceof RestCustomFieldTypeOperations)
        {
            return ((RestCustomFieldTypeOperations) customFieldType).getRestFieldOperation(this);
        }
        return new TextCustomFieldOperationsHandler(this, getI18nHelper());
    }
