Issue Summary

currentReporter() syntax is not working in automation AQL. 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have Asset object with Attribute that contains Jira user
2. Create automation with issue created or manually triggered trigger 
3. Add action to edit issue
4. Edit the Asset custom field with AQL that contains currentReporter() syntax

   User = currentReporter() 

5. Trigger the automation rule with issue with reporter that was set in the Asset object in step 1.

Expected Results

Issue current reporter is fetched and used in AQL

Actual Results

Automation rule execution has status Some Errors with action details:
No objects were returned from query
No fields or field value to edit for issues

Workaround

Use below smart value to fetch issue reporter:

 {{reporter}} 

Note

The above behavior has been observed additionally with the following smart value: {{reporter.displayName}}. The same workaround applies in this case.
