Issue with last commented user field with jira toolkit plugin.

[Scott Harman]

Hi guys - I've got an issue I've just discovered with this field - it doesn't support renamed users, and basically just bombs out of whatever is doing the update.

Sample output - looks like the issue is triggered by the plugin, but it's only been noticed after we've been running this for a few months.

Hi @Scott Harman, this bug now been resolved in the Jira Toolkit Plugin from version v0.35.14. Please update to the latest version of this add-on through Jira Administration » Add-Ons » Manage add-ons to resolve this issue.

Hi Scott, 

Is this one of the Script Runner built in post functions ? Or is it a custom one ?

[Scott Harman]

Hey Thanos - it's a custom listener, but the fault was with the toolkit plugin, AuthorOfLastUpdateOrComment - I've modified the field to be a user picker field, then simply set the user in that value (I'm using a custom user to modify all the fields so we don't have to grant the user edit permissions) so it actually gives us better metadata this way.

The toolkit plugin basically bombs with any user who has been renamed.
