AttributeError while creating Jira link: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'

[mmm83]

Describe the bug We have an application which creates links in JIRA issues it stopped working since jira upgrade to version Jira v8.5.1

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

from jira import JIRA

options = {
            'server': <jira host url>,
            'rest_api_version': 'latest',
            'verify': False,
        }
jira = JIRA(options=options, basic_auth=(<user>, <password>), max_retries=1)
remote_link_dict = {
                'title': 'Google page',
                'url': "https://www.google.com"
            }
jira.add_simple_link(jira.issue(<issue id>), remote_link_dict)

Expected behavior Jira link is created without any error.

adding a simple link with the newest version jira v.8.8.0 and Jira v8.5.1 works well in case when new empty instance of jira is used in my test environment. For some reason bug above is still valid for particular business instance of jira as user mmm83 has reported.

To Reproduce Exactly the same as above.
