Custom field object error in Jira <--> Zendesk configuration

Originally asked by Andrew Boeger on 02 December 2021 (original question)


Hello,

Exalate has stopped working completely. Support advised to share the issue here. This error is generating on the Zendesk side.

Unexpected error occurred. The customfield `Request Type` was assigned to   
`value=Onboard new employees class=java.lang.String`,   
but it should have been set to a custom field object

Generate an exalate support.zip file</a> and contact support.

Thank you Ariel Aguilar

I see the issue now on the Zendesk side (trying to set the object to a String). Going to try a few things to resolve. (old community)
