pre-filled fields with board filter conditions

Question

If I set a board filter condition as follows:

project = DWRDDU and team = "Fantastic Beasts" ORDER BY Rank ASC

when I use the "create issue" at the bottom of the board, I find the "team" field pre-populated with the same value I set in the filter condition.

If I elaborate the filter a little bit more, as:

project = DWRDDU and ((issuetype != Epic and team = "Fantastic Beasts") or (issuetype = Epic)) ORDER BY Rank ASC

the field is no more pre-filled and if I try to add an issue with the previously quoted feature the issue disappears and I have to search it and fill the team field myself.

What's the reason behind this?

Scrum board, on project DWRDDU, the filter condition for the board is:

project = DWRDDU and team = "Fantastic Beasts" ORDER BY Rank ASC

where "team" is a custom, single value list field, not mandatory.

Using this filter condition, when I use the "+" at the bottom of the backlog to add an issue, I find the "Team" field already filled with "Fantastic Beasts". This happens on any issue type. When i click on "+" and add just the issue's summary, I see it at the bottom of the backlog, with the "team" field set with the right value despite me not having touched it.

When I change the board filter condition to:

project = DWRDDU and ((issuetype != Epic and team = "Fantastic Beasts")
or (issuetype = Epic)) ORDER BY Rank ASC

and I add an issue to the board using the same "+" at the end of the backlog, the "team" field is no more pre-filled and the issue disappears from the board until I input the right value manually. Any issue type as well.

Do you need further details?
