    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When you rename a user's username, all existing filters that still use the old username should still be working fine. This doesn't seem to be the case.

      Take an example here: we renamed "johndoe" to "johndoe2345", opening an existing filter that still has:

      assignee = "johndoe"

      Would not show any error at first, it just says "no issues found". But refreshing the page would say: "The value 'johndoe' does not exist for the field 'assignee'." In fact, johndoe actually has issues assigned to him.

      Reindexing doesn't fix the issue.

      WORKAROUND:
      Manually edit the JQL filter to reflect the new username.
