Hi everyone,

I recently created my first Jira Sandbox to test a Jira ADK-Google Cloud integration for academic purposes.

I am the Org Admin and the only user currently in this sandbox. However, I’ve run into an issue where the Project Key field for my project is completely empty, and the field is grayed out/disabled, so I cannot manually enter one.

Since the Project Key is a required parameter for the ADK agents to read/write to the project, I’m stuck. It's been more than 24 hours since i created the projects but the

Any guidance would be appreciated!

thank you

Hi @Sudhakar Ranganadham 

Did you grant yourself access to the sandbox as user or admin.

In administration the sandbox is seen as a separate Jira and you need to provide yourself permissions.

Can you create issues on the project?

hey @Marc -Devoteam- 

thanks for your response.

My bad, I just realized there is a distinction between Jira projects. I now understand that Kanban is where you manage requirements, tasks, etc and projects are just for high level project tracking across work tracks.. I hope I got this right? I am going to explore using the project key that i now have to check the Agentic AI integration.
