      Summary

      When trying to edit an existing component to set a user with uppercase characters in their username as Component Lead for a JIRA Component, an error "The user <username> does not exist."

      Users without uppercase characters in their username can be entered without problems.
      Selecting a user with uppercase characters in their username is possible when creating a new component.

      2. Click on the 'Components' link and then click on the ... button and select edit for an existing component.
      3. Select a user (with uppercase characters in their username) from the drop down list, and then click Save.

      Expected Results

      The user selected from the list is saved as the component lead

      Actual Results

      An error is displayed on screen (nothing appears in the logs):

      It is possible to edit the existing component using the REST API.
