Can you please try disabling the Comments and WorkItems and see if that allows the release to be created.
Also can you please attach the Octopus server logs, which can be found with the documentation at https://octopus.com/docs/support/log-files. These logs may have more details that resulted in the bad request.

We have had a few reports of this issue, and created a GitHub issue at https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OctoTFS/issues/107 to track the progress. We’ll update the issue when we find the underlying cause, so keep an eye on that.
Others have mentioned that disabling changeset and work items has worked for them, so that might be a valid workaround for now.
If you have any other information, please feel free to add a comment to the GitHub issue, as this will be the central location where we track the progress.
