Diagnosis

Run the following queries in JIRA's database - if anything is returning, please continue to the "Workaround" section. This could happen when issues are not properly migrated to a new issuelinktype and the older issuelinktype is not properly deleted.

select distinct linktype from issuelink where linktype not in (select id from issuelinktype)

Workaround

  1. (warning) Backup JIRA!
  2. Stop JIRA.
  3. Run the following SQL statements in JIRA's database:

    delete from issuelink where linktype = '<linktype found from the above query>'
  4. Restart JIRA.

After that you should no longer see problems viewing those issues.
