Cause 2: Mismatch between Capabilities and Requirements

You may have a mismatch between Capabilities and Requirements for the agents and jobs, respectively.

Cause 3: Multiple Executables with the same name and type

This issue can also occur when you have multiple Executables with the same Type and Name.

Resolutions

Solution 1: Remove Artifactory Maven executable

If the Bamboo Artifactory plugin is installed, remove the "Artifactory Maven 3" executable

Solution 2: Rename Executables

Rename all but one of the Executables with the same Type so they all have distinct names.

Solution 3: Delete and readd Executables

If the above solutions do not work, remove all of the Maven Executables and add the new Maven executable
