Tip

As an administrator, you can transfer a dashboard or filter to yourself, make changes to the dashboard’s gadgets or the filter’s JQL (without editing the shares at all), and then give the dashboard or filter back , without erasing the old co-owners.

This works because , if you changes change the owner of a filter or dashboard with shared ownership , and the new owner is not among the old co-owners, the old list of co-owners is disabled but not erased immediately. The list is remembered until the new owner makes any change changes on the filter/dashboard sharing page. If the ownership is transferred back to one of the old co-owners without doing making such changes, the old co-owners list will be re-instatedreinstated.
