Call up an existing JQL.

Modify text search from "AAA" to "AA BB"

Hit Return key to validate the new JQL works as expected

Exit the App

Re-Enter the App and call up the revised JQL and the old text unmodified is still there

Hello @Alex Fiteni 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

When you open a saved filter you will initially see the filter name and the Save As button, the filter details, and the results.

If you edit the filter but don't execute it you will see the Save button disabled, and the text "Edited" appears.

When you execute the new search and get the results, if you are the owner or have editor permissions for the saved filter then the Save button will become enabled.

You need to click on the Save button to save the changes you made to the filter.

If the button says Save as then you don't have Editor permissions for the filter and you can only save the changes you made as a separate, new filter.
