Alerting

How to change alerts's ownership in bulk from CLI?

Hi Splunk users,

I know that we can change ownership of alerts in this file:

/etc/apps/App_Name/metadata/local.meta


But I need a strategy where I can change the ownership of alerts in bulk (we have too many alerts)
this is an example of one of the alert stanza in my local.meta file.

[savedsearches/myAlert1]
export = none
owner = admin
version = 7.3.0
modtime = 1577505159.261205000

I tried to replace the stanza head with [savedsearches/*] hoping that the wild card will represent all of the alerts in this app, but it did not work. Looking for suggestion.

Regards.
