Single-user fields render avatar/profile picture in Jira Work Item macro

    • Minor

      Issue Summary

      After the automatic Jira Legacy Macro → Jira Work Item Macro conversion, user fields in the Jira Work Item macro render the user's avatar/profile picture. The Jira Legacy macro rendered these as text only.
      When a Confluence page is exported to PDF, the rendered avatars/profile images become a permanent part of the exported document. For customers in regulated or audit-heavy environments, embedding user profile pictures in controlled documentation is not acceptable, even when the user's name is also shown. These customers require deterministic, text-only output and the ability to disable avatar rendering completely.

      Steps to Reproduce

       1.  On lalune.atlassian.net (or sandbox), create a page with Jira Legacy macro that includes a single-user picker custom field column (e.g., assignee or a custom user picker).
       2.  Trigger (JIM → JWI) conversion 
       3.  View the page and export as pdf

      Expected Results

      User picker column renders as user display name only.

      Actual Results

      User picker column renders the user’s avatar/profile picture

      Workaround

      As a workaround, affected pages can be restored individually to a version prior to the automatic conversion by using the Confluence page history feature. This allows reverting the changes introduced by the conversion on a page-by-page basis.
