Job changes via script lost after jenkins restart

Hello,

We are trying to change git credentials in more than 200 jobs and so we are using a groovy script to do a bulk change:

 
                                                                import com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.multibranch.WorkflowMultiBranchProject
import com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins.bitbucket.BitbucketSCMSourcedef pipelines = Hudson.instance.getAllItems(WorkflowMultiBranchProject)def pipelinesUsingCredentials = pipelines.findAll { p -> 
  p.getSCMSources().findAll { 
    it.class == BitbucketSCMSource && it.credentialsId == 'Credential1' 
  } 
}println "pipelines: ${pipelines.size()}"
println "pipelines using svnbuild.core: ${pipelinesUsingCredentials.size()}"pipelinesUsingCredentials.each { println "${it.name.padRight(30)} -- $it.fullName " }def updatePipeline(p) {  
  def sources = p.getSCMSources().findAll { it.class == BitbucketSCMSource && it.credentialsId == 'Credential1' }
  sources.each { source ->
    println "  updating source: ${source.repository}"
    println "  existing credential id: ${source.credentialsId}"
    it.credentialsId = 'Credential2'
    println "  new credential id: ${source.credentialsId}"
  }
}pipelinesUsingCredentials.each { updatePipeline(it) }
 
                                                            

The scripts is working ok but we noticed that every time we restart jenkins the value changed back to the old credentials. I checked and seems that the problem is because is not writing the changes in the config.xml of each job. Is this a normal behavior?

Thanks!
