Troubleshooting

• Complex JQL may not be able to use Basic view and the search bar will automatically switch to Advanced JQL Mode

• The "Auto-update search results-filtering" Jira option is disabled on the search bar. After you selected a value from a combobox the Update button has to be pressed to apply the filter.

• Sorting using ORDER BY JQL clause is not supported and will be ignored.
