Summary
JIRA Software allows the Epic Status field to be edited, which causes a NullPointerException when running calling:
GET /rest/agile/1.0/board/{boardId}/epic/{epicId}/issueGET /rest/agile/1.0/board/{boardId}/sprint/{sprintId}/issue
as EpicServiceImpl.getEpicStatusValue(issue) expects an Epic Status to exist.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create an Epic and browse to it.
- Select 'Edit';
alternatively, Select 'Admin > Add Field' - Edit the Epic Status to none
Expected Results
- It would not be possible to change the Epic Status to none;
- Or the endpoints wouldn't return a 500 error when parsing Epics with no statuses.
Actual Results
The below exception is thrown in the atlassian-jira.log file or as a response on the API call:

Workaround
- Search for all Epics with no status:
type = 'Epic' and "Epic Status" is EMPTY
- Manually (or bulk) edit those and add a value for the Epic Status field.
