Changing name of JQL filter

[Stephen Kairys]

Hi,

I just modified the JQL criteria for a filter, but can't see how to change the filter name....there appears to be no EDIT button. How do I proceed?

Thanks.

Go to Filters > View All Filters.

Find the filter

If you own it, click on the three dots to the far right and you should find an Edit option that will allow you to change the saved filter name.

The 3 dots all the way to the right provide me only one option: IMPORT FROM CSV. Thanks.

Can you post a screen image of that? I'm not sure you on the same screen I'm talking about. I don't see that option at all and I am a Jira Admin and the owner of the filter.

[Stephen Kairys]

Trudy, 

Thanks for your response. Here you go. Note that there are now additional options aside from the CSV  (Bulk Change _____ and Current Page.)

[Trudy Claspill]

That is not the page I'm talking about in my post.

You are viewing the Issue Search page where you have run the filter and can see the results.

I said to select Filters (from the menu bar at the top of the screen), and then View All Filters.

Then find your filter in the list of all filters, and click the three dots on the far right side next to that filter.

Thank you! How do I mark your response as the Answer?

Next to the Votes buttons above answers you should find an Accept Answer button.

Not for the post which resolved my issue.

Hi Stephen - Click on the Details button. 

[Stephen Kairys]

The first time, it worked. I clicked EDIT PERMISSIONS and could change the name. But tried again, and the EDIT PREMISSIONS option no longer exists. 

It says that FILTER IS ONLY VISIBILE TO YOU.

Thanks.

[John Funk]

Just click Details and change the name there. You don’t need to change permissions - just click on the name and change it.

[Stephen Kairys]

Yeah that worked but not all the time. On at least 1 occasion, the EDIT option was absent.

[John Funk]

Well, it will probably be best to just post again the next time it isn't available so we can troubleshoot then.
