Using in JQL "Creator" field as anonymous user cause error

Atlassian Update – 20 Jan 2020 Hi everyone, We have recently reviewed this issue and the overall interest in the problem. It's been a couple of months since it was first noticed in Jira 8. During that time, it has collected very few votes, watchers and support cases. Because of this and also due to the minor severity of it, it is very low on our priority list and we will not fix it the foreseeable future. That's why we're resolving it as Won't Fix. Although we're aware that this issue is still important to those of you affected by it, we want to manage expectations towards our bug fix plans in a transparent and realistic manner. We do our best to prioritise issues that have high and critical impact which we assess based on several different factors. You can learn more about this by reading our Bug Fixing Policy .

We will continue to watch this issue for further updates, so please feel free to share your feedback in the comments. Thank you, Jira Server Bug Fix Team
