Stuck thread when creating (Or editing) a project

[Kevin Klesz]

Hello everyone,

when I am trying to create a new project of any kind in Jira (Or try to edit the Name/key of an existing one) I get a timeout error. After looking in the catalina logs, it says that a thread may be stuck, but I cant seem to find any hint as to what causes this exactly... 

[ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve.notifyStuckThreadDetected Thread [http-nio-8080-exec-40 url:/secure/project/EditProject.jspa username:...] (id=[23337]) has been active for [122,892] milliseconds (since [2/17/20 9:00 AM]) to serve the same request for [http://.../secure/project/EditProject.jspa] and may be stuck (configured threshold for this StuckThreadDetectionValve is [120] seconds). There is/are [6] thread(s) in total that are monitored by this Valve and may be stuck.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to solve this problem?
