Cause

There are two known causes for this:

  • The upgrade task failed to convert the mix case username hence returning NULL value in database. This is basically a bug that being tracked in GHS-8325 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • A bug for this is raised under  GHS-9697 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Workaround

  1. Run the following query to check for NULL values in the AO_60DB71_CARDCOLOR table

    SELECT ID FROM "AO_60DB71_CARDCOLOR" WHERE "VAL" is NULL;
  2. Remove the row that contains the NULL value using the following query:

    DELETE "AO_60DB71_CARDCOLOR" WHERE ID IN (<ID RETURN FROM THE SELECT QUERY>);
  3. Restart JIRA.

If this does not resolve the problem, please try the workaround in Jira throws "user exists but has no unique key mapping" on login, or throws "The JIRA server was contacted but has returned an error response" on searching for users in user picker field as it fixes the bug tracked under GHS-9697 - Getting issue details... STATUS
