Issue Summary

Users with the "Manage Versions" permission for a project are unable to create new versions directly from an issue’s "Fix Versions" field. This functionality works when users have the broader "Administer Projects" permission.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Assign the "Manage Versions" permission to a user for a Jira project, ensuring they do not have the "Administer Projects" permission.
2. Open any issue within that project.
3. Attempt to edit the "Fix Versions" field.
4. Enter a version name that does not currently exist.

Expected Results

Users with the "Manage Versions" permission should see the "+ Create new version" option, similar to Jira Administrators.

Actual Results

The message "No matches found" appears, and the user is unable to create a new version from the issue screen.

Workaround

Currently, users with the "Manage Versions" permission can only create new versions via the project settings > Versions page. Creating new versions directly from the issue view is not possible unless the user also has the "Administer Projects" permission.
