Do you have custom fields defined for that project? If so what type are they?

Yes, we have 3 custom fields : one dropdownlist and two edit boxes.

All these fields are active, visible, and were filled when the error occured.

Thanks,

Olivier

Does this error always occur? Can you update offline issues?

We are able to replicate this only if we do not enter the custom fields tab.

Do you have default values for the custom fields? Do you enter the custom fields tab?

I have3 custom fields, one dropdown and two editboxes. Only the dropdown list has a default value.

The error also occurs when I enter the custom fields tab, then choose an item in the dropdown list and type some text in the editboxes.

I've made following test :

If I suppress my dropdown list custom field I can create issues offline without errors.

I think the problem is related with the lookup table and fields.

Thanks for this, we can re-create it now.

This is to do with lookup fields that have default value.

a workaround, until a fix is released, is to not give a default value to a lookup custom field.
