      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

      Notes

      Looks like a regression caused by JSW-10333. Works ok on JIRA Agile 6.7.12.

      Fixed in JIRA 7.1.4 - see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSW-13407
