How to Change the Reporter in Jira

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to update the reporter field on any Jira ticket.

Quick summary

Changing the reporter on a Jira ticket takes just a few clicks inside the issue's right-hand panel. This guide walks you through selecting a ticket, updating the Reporter field, and confirming the new assignee in seconds.


Steps

  1. In your Jira board, find and select the ticket you want to edit.
  2. In the right-hand panel, click the field next to Reporter to open the edit options.
  3. Choose the new reporter you want to set from the list of available users.
  4. Confirm the change — the Reporter field on the selected Jira ticket will now reflect your selection.

📌 Why this matters

Being able to quickly change the reporter on a Jira ticket is essential for accurate project tracking and accountability in agile teams. When work is reassigned or originally logged under the wrong team member, correcting the Reporter field ensures issue histories, filters, and reports remain reliable. Jira's inline editing makes this update fast and non-disruptive, keeping your board data clean without requiring admin access. Accurate reporter attribution directly improves sprint planning, audit trails, and workload visibility across the team.
