How can I bulk update the filter and dashboard owner?

[Rebecca Hylek]

Hello,

Is there a way to bulk change the filter and dashboard owners in Jira Software (Cloud) when someone leaves the organization?

Hi @Rebecca Hylek 

I do not believe there is a built-in way to do that yet, and here is a suggestion to add that capability: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-39724

If you have software engineering support from your team, you could use the REST API functions to edit the filters in a loop, as described in that suggestion. 

There is an experimental method to bulk edit up to 100 dashboards: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-dashboards/#api-rest-api-3-dashboard-bulk-edit-put

I do not see a similar bulk edit for filters, but there is a change-owner one: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-filters/#api-rest-api-3-filter-id-owner-put

And, there are probably marketplace addons to do this, so perhaps check the marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/

Kind regards,
Bill
