Updating Portfolio Target Start / End fails in a new thread

I’m using the MutableIssue API to update the Target Start and Target End dates which are provided by Portfolio.

These fields are set when there’s a SprintUpdateEvent to reflect the Sprint’s start and end date in the Target Start and Target End field.

Because a Sprint could contain a lot of issues, I’m running this code in a new thread, otherwise the UI freezes, or times out, for the user that updates the sprint.

What I notice is that when I’m running the code without a new thread, there are no problems in updating the issues and the fields are set, except that the UI freezes.

When I’m updating them within a thread, IllegalArgumentExceptions are thrown.

Thread.start("MyThread") {
    jtlu.preCall()
    try {
        // retrieving a user here in case it would get lost outside of the thread or the authenticated user would not have proper permissions
        ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName("jira-admin")

        ... 
        issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfTargetStart, new Date(event.sprint.startDate.getMillis()))
        issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfTargetEnd, new Date(event.sprint.endDate.getMillis()))

         // another try / catch so it won't stop the thread
         ...
         issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false) 

} catch(Exception ex) {
    log.error ex
} finally {
    jtlu.postCall(log)
}

The stacktrace (only when performing this within a thread)

Note that when I’m using self made custom fields there are no issues and it performs just fine while running within a thread.

I want to avoid setting up yet another listener that would try to update the Target Start / End date when my own custom field value would get updated via this code.
