Cause

The root cause of this problem is an incompatible version between JIRA 4.4 and the Gantt-Chart plugin:


JIRA Gantt-Chart Plugin                       : de.polscheit.jira.plugins.gantt
Version                                       : 1.5.3
Status                                        : enabled
Vendor                                        : Frank Polscheit
Description                                   : This plugin displays JIRA issues within interactive gantt-charts as gadget or on project tab panels.

Resolution

There are 2 main solutions for this problem:

  1. Install a compatible version of the plugin or
  2. Remove the plugin from your instance
