I’d be grateful for a way (rake task or command line database query is fine) to bulk update topics and messages to reassign them from one user to another. This need comes up frequently in my community as staff come and go but we still need to follow up. Right now have one user with nearly 100 assigned topics that need to be handed off to someone else.

Bulk Reassigning Topics from One User to Another
The discussion revolves around finding a way to bulk reassign topics and messages from one user to another. tobiaseigen frequently encounters this issue in their community due to staff turnover and is seeking a solution. pfaffman offers paid assistance, but tobiaseigen declines due to budget constraints.
tobiaseigen decides to manually reassign the topics, but omarfilip provides a potential solution using rake tasks to change post ownership. However, omarfilip later clarifies that the tasks change the post author, not the assignment.
I don’t have an instance where I have assigned stuff to figure it out. If you’re desperate and have a budget, I can help.
I don’t have a budget, sadly. Thanks for the offer, though! I think I will just work my way through this list.
This situation comes up periodically and I am always wishing there were a quick fix, but at the end of the day it typically is better anyway to just buckle down and take a few hours to look at the tickets and close them or reassign them to somebody else.
### Change post ownership
rake users:change_post_ownership["old","new"]
rake users:change_post_ownership["old","new",private]
thanks @omarfilip! Do those rake tasks change author of post or change who it is assigned to?
Oh, I may have misunderstood the question. The one above is for post author, not assignment.
