Cannot create new issue without mapped issue type

Symptoms

An issue does not get synchronized and appears in the troubleshooting section with the category Cannot create new issue and a message such as Cannot create new issue without mapped issue type for received issue PA-123.

Cause

The most common reason for this error is that there is a field that is appearing on a screen more than once.

Resolution

1. Run the following SQL query towards the database to see if there is a duplicate field in a screen:

   CODE

   select f.name, i.fieldidentifier, count(*)
   from fieldscreen f, fieldscreenlayoutitem i, fieldscreentab t
   where f.id = t.fieldscreen
   and i.fieldscreentab = t.id
   group by f.name, i.fieldidentifier having count(*) > 1;

2. Does running the query return a result? If there is no result, please open a support ticket at help@k15t.com. If there is a result shown by running the query above, it means that there is a duplicate in a screen. To remove it, follow the steps below:
   1. Navigate to JIRA Administration > Issues > Screens
   2. Look for the Screen mentioned in the SQL query result
   3. Click Configure and look for the mentioned field
   4. Remove one of the fields from the screen
