Hello experts:
I am facing a problem during configure my Jira system. Senario like belwo:
Jira Softwware 7.2.4
1. A project with several components and each component has its component lead.
2. Component A has its component lead named Jack(user name)
3. For some reason, user Jack changed his account and modified his name to Tom. component lead auto changed the component lead name to Tom.(It's perfect!)
4. Changed component A's component lead to Mary.
5. Problem: When I want to set the component lead back to to Tom, the system refused with :"The user newDevGp1U10faf f does not exist." error.
6. I can see the Tom user with user management screen. I tried several actions: re-index Project/System, then re-start Jira service and reboot system. This problem cannot solve.
7. At last, I change the problem user Tom back to Jack. all things back to normal!
Please kingly confirm this, and, inform me if you need any symptoms. It's a kindly of busy.
Thank you!

For anyone who wants to update the Component Lead using the REST API with Excel VBA see below (the first sub is in a standard module the rest are in a class module):
Sub JIRA_UpdateComponentLead()
Dim myJIRA As New clsJIRA
Dim componentID As String
'Note you will need the component ID
MsgBox "You will need the component ID. " & vbCrLf & "e.g. use http://yourJIRA:80/rest/api/2/project/yourPROJECT/components", vbExclamation
With myJIRA
.URL = InputBox("Enter Jira URL e.g. yourJIRA:80", "JIRA URL")
.Protocol = InputBox("Enter protocol i.e. https:// or http://", Protocol, "http://")
.UserName = InputBox("Enter JIRA Username for " & myURL, "Username")
.Password = InputBox("Enter JIRA Password for " & myURL, "Password")
.Project = InputBox("Enter JIRA Project Name for " & myURL, "Project")
.Login
componentID = InputBox("Enter JIRA ComponentID to change ")
.RenameComponentLead componentID, InputBox("New Component Lead Login Name")
.Logout

Ah, found the answer: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-62551
When I switched to a user with all lowercase characters, I was able to assign the component lead.

We are facing same issue but in our case our users name didn’t change
Is it pre condition that user name will be in small letters only ? Our user names are mix of small letters , capital letters , numbers .

Hi,
Was a solution found for this? I'm having the same problem with an account called preproductionHPIDsupport. When I start typing the name, it shows up as a valid option for Component Lead and I select it from the user list.
I confirmed that I can log in with this ID. While logged in with that account, I confirmed that I can browse the project and assign issues to myself (preproductionHPIDsupport).
I can set the component lead to other values - just not that one in particular.
Thanks!

Start by going back over the exact names of each user. newDevGp1U10faf does not look like a valid JIRA user login, as they're usually lower case? Are you using an external user directory?

Hi Nic
In production environment, the user name uses lower letters. And, JIRA use internal user directory only. I cannot find useful information in logs. I can provide logs if youneed to know more details.
I'm not sure if this problem is related to add-ons. git intergration add-on was intalled, and, problem still exists after I remove it.
Thank you for kindlu update:)

Not yet, we need to dig through why it's picking what looks like a broken user id.
Can you go into more detail on what you're doing in step 5? Assuming you are on the screen where you should be able to set the component lead, and the field currently shows "Mary", what do you click, and then type? Does it try to auto-complete Tom's name? Also, what happens if you try to use the user-picker to find and select Tom?
