duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pk_propertyentry"?

[Timothy Harris]

Has anyone seen this in the JIRA Log before.

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pk_propertyentry"

It is occurring after a migration of data from a cloud instance to a server instance.

Server is latest 7.3.

Hi there,

I'm facing this issue now, and i found a table called sequence_value_item in jira db.

It holds seq_id for seq_name.

In my case I had this issue with pk_customfieldvalue, id was already used.

I found that max(id) from customfieldvalue was way above seq_id for seq_name CustomFieldValue in sequence_value_item.

I updated it using this query :

update sequence_value_item set seq_id=(select max(id)+100 from customfieldvalue) where seq_name='CustomFieldValue';

Restarted Jira and tested again, issue fixed.

Thank you. This solution helped me in the same case.

[Sumeet Pannu]

Yeah, same question here.

I am also experiencing this. Migrating from Cloud to the latest version of JIRA Server (7.3.x) and using a new license.

Any resolution or guidance?
