Hot to enter Projekt Keys using numbers not letters only?

Question

Please let me know how I can setup a project key like LGIT-2011-418. Currently it seems to be only allowed to use upper case letters. I know from other customers that they are using key including letters and numbers.

This is important since I would like to enter a reference here.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Andreas Reymann

We have this modified on our systems and use GH all the time. I haven't seen any issues with it but would be curious what others have seen too

can you provide any information about what might go "wrong" if you make a change and you're using greenhopper? I just want to allow numbers in the project key, so I'd use the regex provided in the documentation: ([A-Z][A-Z0-9]+)

In a VERY quick test on a sandbox machine, greenhopper seems OK with this project key, but if you have any specifics about what might not work that'd be helpful. Thanks!

Fully support all that Nic says here. The wiki page does outline that the 'dash' character should not be used, amongst others. So should enable you to make an informed decision.
