Jira is case sensitive-friendly reminder :)

[Anja Brkljacic]

I just spent 20 min troubleshooting a Jira validator that was not executing....only to realize it was because I had capital letters in the name of my subtask I was validating against, and the subtask had lowercase letters in its name.

So, hoping my "d'oh" moment will save someone troubleshooting pain by reminding you all "Jira is case-sensitive" :)

Oh!  This is good!

Anyone else have some surprising Jiraisms or good-to-knows about other products?

Thanks for the heads up @Anja Brkljacic!

Thanks for sharing from your experience.  If you could share a bit more, I'm curious about what conditions made it so that the mismatch of case was not detected.  Normally in languages with static typing (Java, C, C++, etc.), if there is a mismatch such as in the mismatch of case, then that would generate error messages in most cases that alert about the lack of a match.

Was this a situation where something prevented a relevant error message?  Or was it that the messages that were generated were not sufficiently clear?  Or perhaps something else that made it more elusive to pinning it down to the differences in case?

Thanks again for sharing so that others could benefit.
