Can't share filters from Edit button anymore.

Question

Me and several others can't share filters from Edit button anymore.

I don't know when it stop working and if it affects all the users with global permission Create Shared Object.

The strange thing is that I can edit the permissions if I click on the filtername and choice Edit from that screen.

Hi susann.ivarsson@dahl.se

Screen 1 - Filter List

Here you are able to click the Edit button which will show you Screen 2

Screen 2 - View Filter Details

Besides the Name and the Description, you cannot change anything indeed. Therefore, you need to click on Details, then the pop-up window dialog box in Screen 3 will be shown

Screen 3 - Filter Details

In order to change the view/edit permissions, click on the Edit permissions link.

Screen 4 - Edit Current Filter

Here, select the Viewers/Editors and click + Add to confirm

Then, confirm again by clicking Save

Screen 1 is showing my filter and when a push the edit button (screen2) I can't change anything. Before I have been able to change/edit permissions from that screen.

Screen 3 shows when I have clicked on the filter name. Inside here I can set/change the permission.

I only need to know if the first choice is not working any longer or if there are something wrong in our settings.

Hi,

Are you able to share a screenshot to elaborate on what is happening exactly?

Which Edit-button do you mean? The Edit permissions link in the Details of the filter?

Does it concern Filters that are private now?

Can you change the owner from the link <jira-base-url>/secure/admin/filters/ViewSharedFilters.jspa ?
