Jira Search API missing names field on paginated response

[muhammet aktaş]

In Jira 10.3.16, when calling the search endpoint with expand=names,schema, the names field is returned for earlier pages but missing at startAt=250.

Example working requests:

GET /rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentUser()&startAt=0&maxResults=50&expand=names,schema
GET /rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentUser()&startAt=50&maxResults=50&expand=names,schema

Problematic request:

GET /rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentUser()&startAt=250&maxResults=50&expand=names,schema

There are more than 1000 issues in total, and the response contains issues, but the names object is missing.

This causes Jira SDK / REST Java Client to fail with:

org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException: JSONObject["names"] not found

Could you please confirm whether this is expected behavior in Jira 10.3.16 or a REST API regression?

Hi @muhammet aktaş 

This usually means that on one of the issues from 250 till 300 there is an issue with malformed Json or the expand object does not exist.
