Issue Summary

This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes) / (no) - Yes

Steps to Reproduce

1. Unlock the Rank field using the following query - xxxx -> id of the custom field

   UPDATE managedconfigurationitem set managed='false' where item_id in ('xxxx');

1. The field configuration is then changed to remove all projects where the Ranking is not used. Changing from Global (projects) / Global (Issue types) to Project A, B / Global (Issue types).
2. Lock the rank field again by using the following query  - xxxx ->id of the custom field

   UPDATE managedconfigurationitem set managed='true' where item_id in ('xxxx');

1. Restart JIRA. 

Expected Results

The context change made in the field configuration should persist.

Actual Results

The field configuration reverts back to the global context(all projects)

Workaround

Required, if there is no workaround please state:

The only workaround is to not restart Jira but it isn't viable.
