Description
I am trying to create a flexible Jira plugin that would allow a user to modify the JQL used to query issues, but if I try to provide a default query like the following, the parser fails:
```
string(JIRA_JQL="assignee in (currentUser()) AND resolution = Unresolved"): description
```
I narrowed it down to the parser not liking the `(currentUser())` section. I also tried to escape it (`\(currentUser\(\)\)`), to no avail.
Can this be fixed to ignore special characters between the `"..."`?
If I leave the default value blank, it works by copying the query into the text field in the plugins browser, but I'd really like to be able to provide a default value 🙏
Thanks!
