Hi,

In many places where we use JQL to specify a user they are displayed as, what I am guessing, some kind of technical user identification:

Is there a way to set up Jira to always display user name instead of user technical id?

@Alexander Wittlock 

Due to GDPR compliance, you will not be able to see the user name in the filter anymore. 

You can copy the id and then go to Settings > User Management to see the person's name. You will need select a user first, then sub out the ID in the URL Address and hit enter to see who that user is.
