Using JIRA v4.4 and want to change usernames in JIRA. But it seems that I have to install add-on to update usernames. After a search in google I found that the most people recommend to install Script Runner add-on. Up to now it is okay, but what to do next? How can I change user names with Script Runner add on now? Or is there a better way to change user names?
good point. to be honest i've never ever used this script to change names..i always did the steps directly in the DB.
but the last time was before the v5 release and therefor without mentions. but i think this works with some kind of keys and won't have any bad side effect after renaming userIDs. maybe a re-index should be done afterwards
I've used it a couple of times, but on older Jira installs. I've also done it in the database and I don't like it much - there's far too many tables to hit (jira issues, custom user pickers, comment authors, etc. I think I found 11 tables to hit last time, and I'd guess mentions are probably buried in a block of text as well!)
Thank you Peter. When I press built-in scripts; it returns;
So could you please send me username script code so I can paste it and run in my jira. Or do you know how can I solve this issue? By the no updates came up.
