Unable to upgrade plugins in the Jenkins Dashboard. we tried disabling a few of the plugins that the error message mentioned was causing the problem, however, the problem persisted after removing/disabling the plugins. we are planning to disable most of the plugins as it seems to be the issue.
@poddingue , We have tried downgrade of the jenkins to v2.277.1 and tried to upgrade plugins but they got failed.
note: We are unable to upgrade plugins, following is the error message while upgrading plugins
