Template Saving Error in Jira Product Discovery

Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian apps on the cloud platform.

Summary

When users try to add a specific template to the Description field in Jira Product Discovery, they receive an error message:

Something went wrong. We had some difficulties to update an issue on the server. Please try again or refresh the page.

Solution

Invalid URL in Template

Root cause:An invalid URL link in the template prevents the template from being saved successfully (for example, a link pointing to a non-existent or deleted Confluence page)

Correct the faulty URL:

  • Identify the template causing the issue.

  • Review all URLs in the template.

  • Replace any invalid or broken URL with a valid URL pointing to live, accessible pages.

  • Save the changes to the template.

Verify the fix: Test the template by attempting to add it to the Description field again. If the template is inserted successfully without the error banner, the corrected URL has resolved the issue.
