The following SQL queries returns all potentially affected Issue Types in the database
1
select * from issuetype where AVATAR is null AND ICONURL is null; The query tested with MySQL, may need syntax adjustments for other database.
Cause
Issuetype Avatar Icons are broken. It's not clear how this comes to be exactly.
Solution
Resolution
Assign an Issue Type avatar to the Issue Type by taking the following steps:
Navigate through Adminstration cog menu icon > Issues > Issue Types
Find the edit link corresponding to the affected issue types
Edit the issue type to add an Issue Type Icon
You can browse to some pre-built icons in JIRA's installation directory: $JIRA-installation-directory/atlassian-jira/images/icons/issuetypes
