Changing user Display Name does not update Projects Gadget

XMLWordPrintable

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create user 'Admin' with display name 'F Bloggs'
      2. Create project 'Project 1'
      3. Assign 'Admin' as project lead (role) of 'Project 1'
      4. Add 'Projects Gadget' to dashboard, leave 'Projects' setting as "All Projects" and confirm 'F Bloggs' is displayed as Lead under 'Project 1'
      5. Edit 'Admin' user display name to 'Freddy B'

      Expected Results

      Projects gadget should reflect the name change for the 'Lead' role. 'Freddy B' should be shown.

      Actual Results

      Project gadget still displays 'F Bloggs' as the 'Lead' role. Deleting and re-adding does not correct behaviour.

      Workaround

      Navigate to 'Project 1' administration, and change the Project Lead role from 'Admin' user to another user, and then change back. Save changes, and refresh Projects gadget. New username should now be displayed.

      Restarting JIRA also appears to correct this issue
