      Atlassian Update – 13 April 2018

       Hi everyone,

      The fix for this issue is available in 7.6.4, the forthcoming Enterprise releases and versions indicated above. 

      To prevent users from saving an empty filter unintentionally, we have implemented a warning message in Issue Navigator when a user is trying to save an empty filter. While editing an existing filter, users are expected to provide a validated query. The 'Save' button is inactive when the query field is empty or, the search hasn't been performed using the 'Search' button on creating a new filter.

      Thank you, 
      Katarzyna Derenda
      Product manager, Jira Server

      Problem

      Jira has UX bug which is tricking users to save empty filter.

      Scenario to trigger this bug:

      1. Issues -> Search for Issues
      2. Type JQL 
      3. Click save as and name the filter

      Result

      Empty filer is saved.

      Expected result

      Entered filter is saved

      Root cause

      This is happening because currently executed filter is saved not the one that is entered on the screen. 
      We suspect that this bug is creating problems with empty filters as people save them by accident not on purpose. 

      Note on fix

      User will be able to save an empty filter. We just make user more conscious about what is saved by:

      • enabling save button only after search of entered query has been performed
      • providing a warning in case an empty filer is about to be saved
      • other minor fixes
