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 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 not erased immediately. Instead, its functionality is disabled, but it is remembered until the new owner makes any change on the filter/dashboard sharing page. If the ownership is transferred back to one of the old co-owners without doing such changes, the old co-owners list will be re-instated.
Info

If the JIRA administrator changes the owner of a dashboard/filter:

  • If the new owner is not among the co-owners of the dashboard/filter, the list of co-owners is reset. It is up to the new owner to share the ownership with whoever he wishes.
  • If the new owner is among the list of 'Share ownership' of the dashboard/filters, the list of co-owners is not impacted in any way. It's just as if the new owner took ownership via the 'Take Ownership' button.
