Hi Sandra,

You can click on the name of the reporter, and it should give you a text field to delete the current one and type the one that you want.

Cheers,

With the right permissions, you should also be able to do a bulk update on the Jira's you are interested in where you get an option to update fields where reporter is one of it.
