Hi Misha,

I'm afraid that's not possible - please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-72687

Hi @[deleted], welcome to the Atlassian Community. You cannot use the username of a deleted account in a JQL, but if you have an issue that the account has participated in you can get the account id using the REST API. Then using that account id you can use the below JQL to filter the issues.

reporter = accountId

The below community post might also be helpful. Let me know if you have resolved this.
