Missing user in reporter and custom fields

Question

Hello,

we are using JIRA v7.9.0/JIRA Service Desk v3.3.0 and have the following problem:

There was a user in our JIRA Internal Directory called "buerger". The account was set to inactive and later deleted to clear space for another user, also called "buerger". The new one was synchronised from our active directory.
We can see the new user in the user list, but in our Service Desk, he is not available as a reporter or in our custom fields of a task.
After a check of the configuration, everything seems to be okay. After a restart of the system, the problem still exists.
How can we troubleshoot this?

Thanks for help.

I assume it's a read only sync with local groups (that's the usual) then no, unless it's two way (rarely recommended).

do you have a test project where anyone can be an assignee? I wonder if he shows up there.

Is it possible to rename users in JIRA which are synchronised by LDAP? Unfortunately it is not possible to rename him in the active directory.

Can you temporarily change the new user's name to see if it makes a difference? I would only go into the tables if really necessary, see why:
