How to bulk transfer issues assigned to Inactive user ?

nayanvmehta

Hi,

One of the user has left the organisation and is seen as an Inactive user inside JIRA. I want to transfer all assigned issues to some different user. But when I search the name in the Assignee section, it is not available. But when I go and check in the project I can see the assigned issues.

Please help

Thanks and Regards,

Nayan Mehta

HI @nayanvmehta

First, run the JQL like project = XXX and Assignee = User (Inactive username).

You will find all the issue that was assigned to the Inactive user then at the top right corner you will find the Bulk change Option and select the Edit issue operation and the change the Assignee field.

Note: To bulk change you need bulk change global permission.

If you filter for them you should be able to change the assignee with the bulk change function.

For details please see Editing multiple issues at the same time

I thought of this first but then it was not working. In filter, it doesn't find the Inactive users.

I have used bulk change before so I have the permission. But the issue is In assignee field I could not see the name of Inactive user when I tried to filter.

Ok, then you can do like this ..create a group called Inactive-users (Name should be your choice) and then add the inactive user into the group.

Run the JQL like ....Assignee in memberOf(inactive-users)

This helped. Thanks

You are right @nayanvmehta : Filter does not give Inactive users to choose from
