      Jenkins was today upgraded from 1.527 to 1.537.

      I have created a new job (by copying an older job), and saved.
      I want to integrate the new job into a Jenkins view, select it, press "Edit view", select the new job, press save

      and get the following Java exception:

      javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Form too large 241320>200000
  at …

      The issue is critical, because I have to implement a lot of new jobs for our testing environment, we are short before a new release of our software.

      Thanks a lot for providing a solution for this problem.

      Attached is the above stacktrace, as well as the output found in the error logging on the Jenkins master server, and the version of all installed plugins.
