Search with "assignee in (xxx)" is automatically converted to expert mode

unknown

Hello,

 

I search for issues with the basic search assigned to one person like this:

This will give me the url: xxx/issues/?jql=assignee in (DHeinke)

When I open that URL again, it switches to advanced JQL mode and does not let me switch back:

 

I use the latest 8.3.0.

 

I also looked up the network traffic and found this:

URL: xxx/secure/QueryComponent!Jql.jspa

POST-DATA:

jql=assignee in (DHeinke)
decorator=none

RESPONSE:

{"errorMessages":["jqlTooComplex"],"errors":{}}

 

Any ideas how to fix this or is this a known bug?

Hello Dirk,

Per your description, I believe you are being impacted by the following bug:

Can't switch to JQL Basic mode when username is uppercase

This bug causes the Basic search to be turned off when you search for any users with upper case letters in their username, not allowing you to switch back to the Basic mode.

Feel free to vote and watch the bug to receive notifications about any updates.

For now, the workaround available would be to type the user in lower case letters when searching for them using the Advanced mode, so you can switch back to Basic:

assignee in (dheinke)

Since username searches are case-insensitive, you should get equivalent results.

Let me know if this information helps.
