How to edit the group name in jira

Example :any group(Custom Group name)

[Mohamed Benziane · Accepted solution]

Hello @sivakumar 

It is not possible via the UI. There is a open question about that:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-1391

There is a workaround but it's only for jira server here the link :

Hope this helps.

Wow, this many years and we can't edit a group name.   Sad.

[William Cummings]

Still can't change this... EXTREMELY POOR design.

And still not possible in the cloud version. Atlassian seems to have only sales and marketing people and only a few developers to not even enable such absolute simple essential functionality.

Mid 2022 and still no ability to rename Groups in the cloud version. @atlassian, is this something really difficult to implement, way down the priority list or simply never going to happen?

[Justin McCamish]

For posterity, here is the open item requesting this for Atlassian Cloud products. Raised in 2003 and last responded to by Atlassian in 2015 so don't hold your breath!

2023 and still not possible to edit group names. So sad.

@sivakumar You can now rename groups from the new admin.atlassian.com experience. More details are here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Access-articles/Org-admins-can-now-rename-groups-in-cloud/ba-p/2276321

Would have been an adequate Tooltip text in 2003:
Please think twice before pressing the "OK"-button. It may take 20 years before you can change the name of this group.

but hey: in 02-2023 the feature is around the corner :-)

Also need this option.. Delete>recreate methodology is archaic.
