Issue Summary

JQL searches with issue status names with some complicated clauses might not work as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Perform JQL search for example:

   project = "XYZ" AND status WAS in "In Progress"
   

Expected Results

Simple issue status names should fetch the issue key that was in the specified status before.

Actual Results

JQL searches fail for Status WAS IN clauses does not work with status name

Workaround

JQL can be executed with the Status ID of the status you wish to search.

Example of a successful query:

project = "XYZ" AND status was in 10245 

where
10245 = 'To Do'

To find the status ID for your team-managed project, you may use the following API call:

GET /rest/api/3/project/<Insert project key>/statuses
