Is there a quick way to transfer ownership of automation rules, component leads, etc?

Question

The person that built our JIRA helpdesk has left the company and the account has since been deleted/disabled. It could be a coincidence but the assignee automation as well as the email responses have since stopped working. I went in and noticed all the rules and components were under ownership of the previous employee.

Is there a way to automatically transfer ownership or would I have to manually do it 1 by 1 for every object I find?

@Jack Brickey yeah this has to be somewhat new. I just sort of tripped over it because the previous system owner asked me about taking his account off of the automations because of the bulk of email that he's been getting. I'm leaning towards bulk changing them to the 'Automation for Jira' user instead of using my own account, to avoid the same problem down the road.

@Landon Tran , definitely recommend this as "the" answer here.

Good find @Chris ! I have not seen that before. I'm sure when it got added I haven't been to that more area in sometime. So glad they added it.
