Jira 11 Upgrade Note

Reason

Due to a change in Jira 11 we had to retire one of the Custom Field Searchers/Indexers.

Effect

The "Issue Picker Searcher" is no longer available, please use the "Issue Picker Exact Searcher (natural)" from now on.
You will  loose the operators "~" and "!~" but gain "=" and "!=" as well as "in" and "not in".
This means you may need to change some JQL.

Other side effects

The above change also breaks some Dashboard Gadgets, i.e. the "Pie Chart" Gadget using an issue picker field as a diagram type.
Others may also be affected.

What you need to reconfigure

Please edit your searchers for your Issue Picker Custom Fields and set the "Search Template" from "Issue Picker Searcher" to "Issue Picker Exact Searcher (natural)".
No action is required if you were already using this "Search Template".

Please run a reindex in case you had to change the "Search Template".
