Diagnosis

Environment

  • Jira 7.1 and below
  • MS SQL database

Cause

Service Management attempts to create a customfield when creating a project (ie. Time to first response) which is similar to an already existing custom field apart from upper/lower casing (ie. Time to First Response).

  • When creating a project, Service Management first checks for any existing custom field with the name of (ie. Time to first response)
  • It finds none because Time to First Response is of different casing
  • Due to this, Service Management attempts to create a custom field with the name Time to first response
  • MS SQL is case insensitive by default so when SD is trying to create the custom field, it fails in the database level

Workaround

We must change the existing custom field name to be that of what Service Management is trying to create (ie. Time to first response)

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

  1. Stop Jira
  2. Update the customfield table in the DB and change the name of the field to follow the casing SD is trying to create
    1. For example:

      UPDATE customfield set cfname='Time to first response' where cfname='Time to First Response';
  3. Update the AO_54307E_TIMEMETRIC table in the DB and change the name of all fields that are currently using the old name (ie. Time to First Response) to the new name (ie. Time to first response)
    1. For example:

      UPDATE "AO_54307E_TIMEMETRIC" set NAME='Time to first response' where NAME='Time to First Response';
  4. Restart Jira
