      When I create a new item and I select 'Copy existing item', the autocompletion is broken and a NullPointerException occurs:

          [JENKINS-22142] No autocompletion and NullPointerException when using 'Copy Existing Job'

          Auto-complete doesn't work and an exception is logged for every attempt. I didn't see anything else. Definitely not critical.

          It doesn't affect building process, but when you're about to create a job based on another one, then you need to open 2 browser windows:

          1. one to copy-paste original job name from
          2. another to paste that in and create a job, since auto-complete doesn't work

          Definitely a usability issue.

          While it's unfortunate that autocomplete doesn't work, it's not a critical issue. Reclassifying based on Jira issue priority descriptions; an easy workaround is described by Alexander Obuhovich (note that a single tab suffices, the clip board isn't cleared when navigating to a different web page):

          • Critical
            Crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak.
          • Major
            Major loss of function.
          • Minor
            Minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present.

          And I've already provided a possible fix, so there's no need to set a high priority just to get someone to look at this

          Am I missing something? I see you've mentioned a GitHub Pull Request, but how this is a fix? I'm still getting that exception.

          Daniel Beck added a comment -

          The fix exists, it just hasn't been released (or even merged). With some luck it'll be in 1.560 and 1.554.2.

          If this is a real problem for you, you can always branch off the Jenkins release you're using and cherry-pick the commit in the PR to create your own fixed build.
