Cause

"TYPE_PARAMETER" column for one or more roles in the Jira database roles table AO_8542F1_IFJ_ROLE_ACTOR is containing a NULL value as possibly accidentally deleted in the database. 

To confirm, we can launch the below SQL query (example for Postgres):

1 SELECT * FROM "AO_8542F1_IFJ_ROLE_ACTOR" WHERE "TYPE_PARAMETER" IS NULL or "TYPE_PARAMETER" = '';

If the above query returns any records, we shall confirm that those roles are missing the mandatory value.

Solution

Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.

To fix this issue, we shall delete the corrupted entries using the below SQL query (Postgres):

1 DELETE FROM "AO_8542F1_IFJ_ROLE_ACTOR" WHERE "TYPE_PARAMETER" IS NULL or "TYPE_PARAMETER" = '';
