After upgrade to Bamboo 6.2.5, UI in Miscellaneous tab does not render correctly

[kjonick1]

We just upgraded our server to Bamboo 6.2.5. The plugin is working with regard to updating the GitHub repo when builds are run. However, in the build job configuration, the plugin no longer renders correctly (I'll attach screen shot). We are not able to select the repos on the miscellaneous tab.

Experiencing this too:
Here's the relevant error that is printed in the logs - <bamboo_home_dir>/logs/atlassian-bamboo.log

Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use [#if myOptionalVar??]when-present[#else]when-missing[/#if]. (
These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??

@HackAttack, are you planning to fix this?
Your plugin currently does not work in the latest version of Bamboo

[HackAttack]

Yes, I am planning to fix this, I just haven’t figured out how yet. As @kjonick1 noted, the plugin works but the configuration UI is broken, which doesn’t affect the common case of a plan with only one repo (since no configuration is needed).

[doronlh]

Great to hear @HackAttack
I see it does still work with single repo plans, but I feel less comfortable using it in my continuous integration pipeline if it is buggy.
In the meantime I've created tasks in my various plans to to update the statuses. But would be happy to move back to your plugin when its fixed.

[hnryjms]

It looks like @lei-at-mel has addressed this issue in #29 but there's been no progress on getting that PR merged. Have you abandoned this repo @HackAttack because the plugin is completely broken in current versions (see #25 #27 #30 #35).

My team has upgraded bamboo and I'm not entirely sure where to go now because this plugin isn't being maintained.
