Hello,
we sometimes have issues syncing the closed status on tickets. We use the GUI sync and also do the status sync as the very last in order.
However, we constantly get this error:
We could not find out what happens here. Because in my opinion, if status is the last thing that is synced, it should not want to sync any other field AFTER it.
Here's our sync configuration:
We can exclude, that it tries to sync changes on an already Closed issue, because our trigger is configured this way:
Stacktrace:
So the error must occur, when it tries to sync changes and also has to close the issue afterwards. We do not want the user to be able to touch closed issues, so this would not be a solution to us.
What we already tried was adding a script to the top of the sync and tried several ideas from how to avoid error "Status: closed prevents ticket update" and related pages. Nothing worked, the error stays the same.
Also we updated the Exalate plugin in both instances to the latest version and did all the above again.
The Exalate Support referred us here to post this case.
We are looking forward to getting some assistance with our issue.
Regards,
André Ponert
Hi,
Which instances do you use?
Regards
Hi Harold,
Instance 1: Jira Server 8.13.22 with Exalate 5.3.9-j8
Instance 2: Jira Server8.20.10 with Exalate 5.3.9-j8
Was that your question?
Hi Andres,
Yes, that was my question. Now, for this type of advanced configuration, I strongly recommend you to move on to scripted connection.
Best regards
