Changing issue key format

[Madan Kumar Purilla]

At present my issue key format is KEY - 1(default), but I would like to change it as below.

KEY - 092720180001 (MMDDYYYY0001)

If the another ticket logged on the same day then it should be "092720180002". 

and date should get update automatically for the next day ticket...

for example KEY - 092820180003.

Is there any document to handle this type of requirement?

Hi @Madan Kumar Purilla,

you can't change this in Jira.

If you want to get a list of all issues created on a specific day, you can query them like this:

"created >= "2018-09-27" and created < "2018-09-28"

You'd have to modify the source code.

Thanks Joe for quick response...

if you have any document can you please share the link.

@Madan Kumar Purilla - You can't modify the source code. Jira is not open source software. And even if you had the source code, I would never never change something like this.

You can get the source if you have a commercial licence.

But ripping that key structure out and replacing it is

• Totally unsupportable
• A huge task
• Need to be re-done on every upgrade
• Going to mean apps, add-ons and integrations will simply not work (as they would need to be re-written too)
