No Option to Modify Project Key Format in Cloud

[23 Studios]

Hi,

There is no option to modify jira.projectkey.pattern in Settings > Global Configuration > Advanced Settings in Jira Cloud. This screenshot taken from my admin page. Need help.

Best regards.

I found my answer here. The absurd restrictions on project management softwares are annoying. These kinds of things had to be considered much more broadly.

Changing the project key can break things in interesting ways.

It's absurd to allow people to break stuff on a managed service.  It's pretty absurd that server had the ability to do this in the UI, it should never have been implemented.

But it's absurd that the key can't just be numerical. I can't just use 456454

In real life, it's absurd to have project keys that have to be looked up to understand.  Humans don't memorise and associate random numbers as well as acronyms or short words.
