How can I update a PortletConfiguration to get another filter saved in it?

[JIRA Plugin Developer · Accepted solution]

My problem was that whenever a dashboard was cloned, it was created a copy of it, but all filters in its gadgets were the original filters. But I wanted cloned dashboards with cloned filters in it, so all original stuff keeps untouched, when working with the cloned dashboards.

I've already found a solution, how to manage that. I always created a new filter, modified the UserPrefs of each Gadget and save it afterwards with saveLegacyPortletConfiguration(...).

I'm sorry, that doesn't make much sense. If you've got a portlet configuration, you've got some settings from the user. What do you mean "another filter"? If you need another filter, you set up the properties to ask the user for a second filter.
