Jira statement - JQL "WAS"

I am trying to find all the problems assigned to the user, but no results are returned and I cannot figure out why.

My JQL is as follows:

project = MYPROJECT and assignee was joaoalves

The docs says:

The "WAS" operator is used to find issues that currently have or previously had a specified meaning for a specified field. (Note: This operator can only be used with the Assignee, Fix Version, Priority, Reporter, Resolution, and Status fields.)

I have a problem assigned to user joaoalves, but when I view the JQL, no problems are returned.

But if you run the following JQL, the problem is returned:

project = MYPROJECT and assignee = joaoalves

Am I missing something?

It works on my instance and returns issues that are currently or previously assigned to me. Which version of JIRA are you using?

Assignee will return issues that were previously assigned to users and current tickets that this user has.

Try it in conjunction with TIME and specify a time frame. Like this -

project = MYPROJECT and assignee was joaoalves DURING ('2017-04-16 23:59', '2017-04-19 23:59')

The operator was looking for problems when the assignee was joaoalves, but is currently not the correct user.
