Environment

Diagnosis

This documentation can help if you have the ScriptRunner Enhanced Search feature.

Cause

If the filter is created using the ScriptRunner Enhanced Search feature. A periodic synchronization occurs from ScriptRunner to Jira. After approximately a few minutes, this synchronization process overwrites any modifications made to the filter within the Jira issue filter section. 

Solution

Refer to the ScriptRunner add-on configurations within your Jira instance. Understanding these settings will ensure more effective management of your filters and prevent unexpected overrides. This behavior is a public document in the add-on's user guide. To avoid unexpected overrides, manage these filter settings directly within Jira's ScriptRunner app configurations.
