Insight objects not auto-populated in set field value screen in A4J

Issue Summary

When configuring Jira project automations, setting an insight populated custom field value does not work.
After picking field to set the dropdown for choosing the value does not show any results. This happens on all projects and apparently only for non-admin users.

This happens with

• Insights add-on 8.4+ or Jira Service Management 4.15+
• Automation app 7.2.3+

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup any version of Jira with Automation for Jira and latest version of Insights plugin installed
2. Define Insight Objects
3. Create an Insight custom field with the Insights custom field type of 'Insight Object/s'
4. Log in as user with Project Admin rights, but without global Jira Admin rights
5. In the Action component of your Automation rule, select your Insight custom field
6. Try to type characters into the value field for Insight Objects

Expected Results

Insight Objects should be pre-populated

Actual Results

No objects populate even after you start typing

Investigation

Checking the har file for this operation shows that for Jira Administrators the query is formatted something like

https://<Base-URL>/rest/insight/1.0/iql/objects?iql=objectTypeId=250

while for the non admin it was

https://<Base-URL>/rest/insight/1.0/objecttype/250/objects?query=xx 

And hence fails with

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 405 ()

It looks as if JIRAAUTOSERVER-34 has been fixed for Jira Administrators only.

Workaround

• Ask a Jira Administrator to set up the rule

• You might be able to use the Advanced field editing method to set the Insight customfield value. (Expand the More options panel) (See workaround of JIRAAUTOSERVER-34)
