Hi Shweta, thanks for your findings. I am very much surprised to see this was not discovered earlier, especially since this feature has been implemented many versions back (back in version 4.4 or 4.5 i think). I was under the impression that people are testing and reporting on the new features before they hit the release, which apparently is not the case, at least for some new features. From what I can see this feature was completed about a year ago.
I've tried to reopen this issue, but i don't have the rights due to the Jira being in a temporary Lockdown mode. Could someone with the right access reopen this issue on the grounds that it was reported (by at least two individuals) that this feature is not working.
