Renaming the 'Project Categories' to some another name

[Jenin CM]

Hi All,

Presently, when we go to admin page of Jira, under Projects we see 'Project Categories'. I need to change this 'Project Categories' to 'Accounts' so that we will create the projects under the accounts defined in it.

Could you please let me know as how to acheive this?

Thanks and Regards,

Jenin C M

you have to change the property value of the following at ..\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\com\atlassian\jira\web\action\JiraWebActionSupport.properties file

# Administration menu
admin.menu.projects.project.categories=Project Categories

Hi Jenin,

Since you are using the Ondemand version, this is not possible. For a list of restricted functions in ondemand, refer to

Thank you

As of now I am using On Demand but if I get on to a lisenced version, how would I be able to acheive the above requirement. Could you please provide me the details regarding the same?

Hey Jenin,

Take a look at

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Renaming+System+Fields+in+JIRA

Open the file mentioned in the documentation there and search for "Project Categories" and rename all occurances.

If you are new to Jira development, take a look at this book. It is a great resource.
