Update text values in saved searches if the field's text value changes

XMLWordPrintable

      As a user I want text values in saved searches to update if a project/system admin changes the value.

      Currently if a project/system admin changes a text value (e.g. sprint, component, status, resolution, etc.), then all the saved searches for every user instantly become redundant/incorrect. This breaks everything based on saved search results - dashboards, boards, reporting, etc. The longer a text value is in the system, the more wide spread the impact if it were changed or deprecated and replaced.

       

      In a similar way to how Excel updates cell references in formulas when cells are moved, it would be awesome if text values in saved searches were updated to match the new text value if the value is changed. Some form of ID tracking would need to be involved to link the text in the saved search to the values stored for the field in the search.

      I realise this is quite a technical challenge, but the benefits in terms of freedom this would give admins and users to improve their workflows, naming conventions, etc. would be huge.
