    Description

      Summary

      If a user is renamed, with:

      • New username stored in cwd_user.user_name
      • Original username stored in app_user.user_key

      JIRA API may not be able to find the user in many cases. It seems some API methods/endpoints use user_name, while the others use user_key, in an inconsistent manner.

      Known bugs

      Suggestion

      Improve JIRA API to handle renamed users in a more consistent manner, and have this documented properly in the API docs.
