Mark Waite added a comment - 2021-03-16 23:39 - edited Please provide the list of plugins installed on your system as suggested at "How to report a bug" . Please confirm that you followed the instructions in the Jenkins 2.277.1 upgrade guide , especially that you updated your plugins after installing Jenkins 2.277.1. If you did not upgrade your plugins, please do so, then report if the issue remains. I thought that the issue might be in the job configuration history plugin, but we have the job configuration history plugin installed on ci.jenkins.io and it is behaving as expected with Jenkins 2.277.1

Charles Smith added a comment - 2021-03-17 00:21 markewaite  - Thank you. I reviewed the 2.277.1 upgrade guide and confirmed that all steps were followed and that all plugins have been updated after the 2.277.1 upgrade, however, we're still seeing this issue with the job configuration and with previously created jobs. Below is a list of installed plugins with their version. I've also attached a screenshot of the Update Plugins tab for confirmation.

Mark Waite added a comment - 2021-03-17 01:49 - edited Based on a modified version of that list of plugins (using workflow-api 2.42 instead of 2.41), I was able to see that the "Job Direct Email" plugin (last released 8 years ago) is damaging the "Manage Jenkins" / "Configure System" screen. When I uninstall that plugin, the configuration screen looks correct but it still fails to complete the save when I press the "Save" button. A null pointer exception is reported in the console log for the globalpostscript plugin. When I remove that plugin, the configuration UI seems to save though it still returns to the save screen instead of transitioning to the next page. There are 4 deprecated plugins that should likely be removed: Multiple SCMs plugin Icon Shim Pipeline: Declarative Agent API jQuery UI plugin Since there are security vulnerabilities in many of the plugins you have installed, you might try also removing those plugins. Since at least one of the plugins depends on the ruby runtime that does not work with Java 11, you may want to remove any plugins that depend on the ruby runtime plugin. I've uploaded the modified plugins.txt file that I used in my experiments plugins.txt in case others want to experiment further.
