Workaround

As a workaround, I would suggest you on performing the following query against your Bamboo database:

Before running any of the commands below mentioned, please backup your Bamboo database

  1. open you Bamboo database and run the following command:

    1 SELECT * FROM `BANDANA` where BANDANA_KEY = "com.atlassian.plugins.custom_apps.customAppsAsJSON"

    You should expect a result similar to the following:

    1 <string>[{&quot;baseUrl&quot;:&quot;http://ironman/jira625&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;hide&quot;:true,&quot;applicationName&quot;:&quot;Iron Man 6.2 - Gemini&quot;,&quot;self&quot;:false,&quot;applicationType&quot;:&quot;jira&quot;,&quot;displayName&quot;:&quot;Iron Man 6.2 - Gemini&quot;,&quot;allowedGroups&quot;:[],&quot;editable&quot;:false,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://ironman/jira625/&quot;},{&quot;baseUrl&quot;:&quot;http://192.168.10.85:8085/&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;hide&quot;:false,&quot;applicationName&quot;:&quot;[Bamboo 5.5.1]&quot;,&quot;self&quot;:true,&quot;applicationType&quot;:&quot;bamboo&quot;,&quot;displayName&quot;:&quot;[Bamboo 5.5.1]&quot;,&quot;allowedGroups&quot;:[],&quot;editable&quot;:false,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://192.168.10.85:8085/&quot;}]</string>

    Please, update the parameter hide":true," to false.

    1 <string>[{&quot;baseUrl&quot;:&quot;http://ironman/jira625&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;hide&quot;:true,&quot;
  2. refresh Bamboo website
