Cause
The root cause of the problem is unclear but is most likely related to unclean AppLinks data in the database. The warning do not impact the functioning of the Bitbucket to Jira integration.
Workaround
Re-installing the AppLinks between Jira and Bitbucket helps getting rid of the warning.
The AppLinks features will not work while AppLinks is un-installed. Everything should fall back in place after the re-installation and no additional configuration is needed.
