      Issue Summary

      Similar to bug JRASERVER-79218, when using the endpoint https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/rest/v10003/api-group-jql/#api-api-2-jql-autocompletedata-suggestions-get, Jira interprets &amp as & causing some problems when using the results in an app, for example, or automations. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      Send a request to https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/rest/v10003/api-group-jql/#api-api-2-jql-autocompletedata-suggestions-get endpoint, and use & for the JQL search, the suggestion will return & instead of &. 

      Expected Results

      The endpoint response should always return &.

      Actual Results

      The response has &amp.

      Workaround

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