JQL query for issues without original estimate is returning issues with estimates. Why?

Ryan Fish

• JQL query is returning a list of issues with values in originalEstimates field.
  • project = projectname  AND sprint = sprint# AND originalEstimate is EMPTY 
• When I start a sprint, JIRA throws the warning: "Issues nnn do not have a value for the 'Estimate" field. Values entered after the start of the sprint will be treated as scope change'
• I do not want the burndown to have problems since the board is configured to Remaining Estimate and Time Spent.
  

Any ideas from the JIRA hive-mind?

Hello,

As far as I understand the JQL query with the originalEstimate is EMPTY returns tickets with the originalEstimate field set to a value. If so, reindex your Jira.
