Issue Summary

Editing the general configuration settings may automatically make changes without the Jira administrator choosing them.
It was identified the Auto-update search results value changes, but it should be confirmed if any other configuration is also changed on the same way.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install a vanilla instance of Jira.
   • This was validated on 9.12 and 9.17.
2. Go to Administration > System > General configuration.
3. Viewing the current configuration, validate the Auto-update search results is ON.
4. Click on Edit settings.
5. Don't change any configuration and click on Update.

Expected Results

Since the administrator hasn't changed any configuration, there's no change.

Actual Results

Auto-update search results is now OFF.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
