Notes

This issue was cloned from a bug that was closed as a Won't Fix: JRACLOUD-37238 – If the Priority Name is only a Number, Issue Navigator will return issues matching its Name or ID

I have created this ticket to track the confusion caused by this issue.

Steps to replicate:

1. Modify the default priorities to match the below:

    id | sequence |  pname  
   ----+----------+---------
    1  |        1 | Blocker
    2  |        2 | 1
    3  |        3 | 2
    4  |        4 | 3
    5  |        5 | 4
   

2. Use the Issue Navigator to search for:

   priority = "3"
   

Actual Behavior:

JIRA will return any issues with priority = 2 or 3 as the ID of priority '2' is 3.

Expected Behavior:

JIRA would see that "3" (with quotes) is a priority name and would only return results by the name. Alternatively, would show a message explaining why it is returning both.

Workaround:

• Use the following to search:

   priority = "3" AND priority != "2"
  

• Or rename the priorities (e.g.: "Level 3").
