assignee name in filter query changes to numbers

[Amir Primov]

When I assigne = name , it automatically change that to assigne = qp9862308756248756

I saw that I need to check my prifile in id.attlassian.com but muy profile have both full name and public name , 

Any thoughts ?

Hello @Amir Primov ,

It seems that all stored JQL searches will be auto-converted to the new account ID-based format.

Thanks

I see some option presented at the end of the page to "insert accountid " or " resolve users " 

I do not have these 2 options

What genius decided this was a better representation that simply keeping user names?

I have filters to track the work assignments of my team, which frequently changes staff,  How am I supposed to know which 24 digit account number to remove?

I have only been able to use this url /jira/people/5b560b3097e6062cc4b76b88 to figure out what number represents what person

[Karl Rohde]

This is a major issue. I agree with Mike that this presents a challenge to overcome. This should be looked into. It makes using "assignee" in a JQL filter a significant frustration.

The only workaround I found so far - is switching into basic mode

This will change the assignee field into a dropdown menu where you can choose your team members.

I see no difference when I click on Switch to Basic.  The id's in the JQL remain the long alphanumeric ids.   

What was the reason for switching from names to these unrecognizable alphanumeric IDs? 

Since this week I am now also getting these IDs in my CSV extracts, thought they are not included in my column selections.  

Please restore the names instead of this jibberish

assignee in (5da94ec22016b10c337add5c, 5f6b4aadd33d7600774c808b, 5e66638677d46c0cf93ace0a) AND Status

use the property displayname

like assignee.displayname in (John Smith, Anonymous) 

[Mike]

I do not understand the format you are suggesting.  What is the format of the assignee?

I have tried using the actual email and also tried using the default and appending .displayname.  For either I get an error message.

assignee in (mike.bischof@publicissapient.com.displayname)

Error in the JQL Query: The character '@' is a reserved JQL character. You must enclose it in a string or use the escape '\u0040' instead. (line 1, character 26)

assignee in (mike.bischof.displayname)

The value 'mike.bischof.displayname' does not exist for the field 'assignee'.

[Ibrahim Ghalghay]

I meant 
{{issue.assignee.displayname}} in (first name, second name)

you might have to enclose the values between double qautation marks

[Ibrahim Ghalghay]

@Mike please advise, did my above mentioned answer solved the issue?

[Ibrahim Ghalghay]

@Amir Primov please advise

[Clifford Hull]

@Ibrahim Ghalghay Worked for me. Thanks!

I get around this issue with a query like this:

Type in (Defect, Task) AND Assignee in ("Tom.Fuller@Google.com") ORDER BY created ASC

Works for me. :)
