Cannot change the project lead

[Fergal Daly]

In any projects, I cannot change the project lead. I can type usernames into the field but the auto-complete/auto-suggest box never populates.

Even if I save the details with the username in the box, when the page refreshes it has reverted to the original lead.

I am a global admin in our Jira instance and have given myself explicit administrator access to some projects, but it still doesn't work.

Ideas?

Hi @Fergal Daly 

Could you please confirm that you have Project Administrator access to the projects you want to change?

Hi @Scott Theus , yes I do.
