Thanks Andew, the URL provided me got me thinking I was using older pkg

I think i was using jira 1.05 pkg.  I upgraded to 2.x, and pretty much got me running.  I had to make minor code changes.

I suspect that you are seeing the changes as a result of https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/api-changes-for-user-privacy-announcement/

Atlassian Cloud is in the process of making changes to the way rest api can make requests to the user objects.  Instead of returning usernames, like 'jason', Jira Cloud will start using accountid instead.
