bulk change filter and dashboard owners

[Adam Saint-Prix]

I have a list of filters (345!) and dashboards (40) that all need their owner to be changed from user X to user Y. Is there an easy way to do this that doesn't require a restart?

We are on JIRA 4.4.5.

The script runner plugin can do it, https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/x/_ACNAw.

As always verify this in test before trying in production.

"This tool will change the owner for one or more dashboards from one existing user to another (JRA-19780 and others)."

Perfect. Thanks Jo-Anne. Will give it a dry run.

I must be missing something, but I don't see the change dashboard/filter owner option in ScriptRunner in 4.4.5. Is this no longer available in 4.4.5?

Here's what I see under Built-in Scripts

Condition Tester
Test conditions that are used in your workflow functions

Send a custom email
Send an email based on the provided template if conditions are met

Switch to a different user
Switch to another user to deal with support problems and so on.

Copy custom field values
Copy custom field values from one field to another in bulk, to support changing a field type without using SQL or restarting.

Bulk Fix Resolutions
Modify resolution field in bulk, without creating a change entry. Useful after a bad import.

Renames a user ID
Changes a user's ID without reindexing or restarting

Copy project
This tool will create a new project, from the configuration of another project.
This includes: Schemes, Role memberships, Custom field configurations, and optionally, versions and components.

Reindex issues
Reindex issues for a project or corresponding to a filter, perhaps after an indexing problem or editing the database.

Is the Dashboard/Filter Owner Change option gone in 4.4+? I don't see it in the list of Built in Scripts. Here's what I have:

Any way to do this in native Jira? I don't want to continue to have to purchase plugins for something that should come native in this app. Efficiencies Jira. Not complexities.
