Edit worklogs author

unknown

Good morning,

One of our JIRA user has two account (one which he can´t access anymore and a new one), we would like to transfer all the work he logs with his old account to the new account.

Is there a way or a plugin to transfer the worklogs to a new account or edit the worklogs´ author ?

For the moment the only solution that we found is to use the plugin "log work for another" and transfer all the worklogs by hand, but I would like to find a faster solution.

Thank you for your answer.

Dear @[deleted],

you can do this with a script using the REST API with following pseudo algorithm:

search for issue with worklogs of olduser (JQL: worklogAuthor = olduser)
for each returned issue do a "Get Issue worklog"
read from each worklog entry matching olduser comment, started and time spent
"Add worklog" with the read information
if possible, "Delete worklog" the old entries.

This has to be performed with the credentials of "newuser".

So long

@Thomas DeilerThank you for your answer, I will do so.

Just a little question for my curiosity: can we, or, why could we not modify it with SQL directly in the database ?

Dear @[deleted],

its strongly recommended not to directly modify the DB, unless you exactly know what you do. You could really harm your system. If you plan to do do a try-run and intensively test afterwards if the system is still integer.

But again no guarantee that it will work.

Another approach somehow between DB and API: modify the exported XML dump and restore. In this case you have at least the validation by the importer. But again dry-run first on a staging environment.

So long

Ok, I understand.

Just another little question, I am working with JIRA server, I tried to use the plugin "REST API Browser" but when I tried to create an issue I received an error xxx.xx.xx.xx:8080/rest/api/2/api/2/issue (404). I´ve seen that it could be an error because of the update JIRA.8.

Is there any other plugin ?
