Deleting the value from a text custom field will return issue when searching that field's original value in JQL (value is not entirely deleted on back end)

      Issue Summary

      If there is an existing short/rich text custom field on an issue, and that field contains a value, then you delete the value, a JQL search for the value will still return a result.

      The expectation is that after removing the value, that the JQL will not return the result.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a short/rich text custom field
      2. create issue and set the field value to any non-empty string “Test123”
      3. Delete the value “Test123” from the field
      4. Search for issues with the value "Test123" - issues will be returned despite the field being empty

      Expected Results

      JQL search should not return the issues since the field is empty

      Actual Results

      Issues are returned despite the custom field being empty

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
