IntelliJ Update -> get Error by lambda

Question

I updated my IntelliJ IDEA this morning and after that I openend my project and suddenly i get an error in my lambda expressions.

First i got this one:

Lambda expressions not supported at this language level

and then I tried to change the Project Langugage level and afterwards set it back to default. Now i get this one:

Error:(39, 46) java: lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.7
  (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)

IntelliJ ProjectStructure Options:

This is my lambda: And I say it again before I updated IntellJ it worked:

response.getData().stream().filter(a -> a.getStart_time() > WTStandards.getUnixTime()).forEach(eventList::add);

Go to Project Structure → Module tab (⌘ CMD+; on MacOS or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S on Windows OS) and check Language level of your module there:

You may also need to change the Java compiler version as well. Go to Settings dialog (⌘ CMD+, on MacOS or Ctrl+Alt+S on Windows OS), navigate through Build, Execution, Deployment → Compiler → Java Compiler (or just type javac in the search box on top) and change Java Compiler version as below:
