Summary

When searching the field of an issue that was transitioned and edited through a POST REST API request, it will return nothing.

If you search the field of an issue that was edited through the UI OR a PUT REST API request, the search will show that issue.

See the examples below.

When runnig the POST REST API request

curl -D- -u USERHERE -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"update": {"comment": [{"add":{ "body": "test" }} ] },"transition":{ "id":"21" },"fields":{"customfield_10046":"4.4.4.4","resolution":{"name":"Done"}} }' https://yourinstance.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/BS-8/transitions

Then, searching with the JQL query

project = BS and "Root Cause Analysis" ~ "4.4.4.4"

It won't show any results.

However, if you use a PUT request OR edit the issue through the UI, the search will show the issue.
