Changing issue via post-function/workflow transition prevents search from working

Summary

If we use the Update Issue Custom Field post-function in JIRA to set a custom field value, JIRA will actually only find the issue if we search for its old value, ignoring this new value set.

This issue also occurs whenever a custom field is updated upon a workflow transition screen. As an example, if a custom field has no value and is updated during a transition, searching for the new value will not return the expected issue. This does not include the issue creation screen.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected Results

The ticket is only found in "Test Field" = 'Text1' in first search, before setting the field, and only found in "Test Field" = 'Text2' after it.

Actual Results

The ticket is found in "Test Field" = 'Text1' in both cases, even after setting the field to 'Text2'.

Notes

This does not happen if we set the field by editing the issue.

Workaround:

• Editing custom field value manually makes it searchable once again
• Setting custom field on issue creation screen (if applicable) also works.
