What steps are needed to update a team name and still have it sync properly?

What are the steps needed to update a team name and still have it sync with Jira?

I have a few teams that are changing a bit, people being moved from team to team. The new team will use the same board in Jira, but want the project renamed and have it reflected in Jira Align.

Hi @Ann Bouvier,

As long as the board ID remains the same, the data will continue to sync regardless of name changes.

Are you only renaming the Jira project or are you also changing its key? If you are changing the key, that is a huge no-no - Jira Align won't recognize a key change unless you unmap the old project key and map the new project key. (We discussed this while I was supporting you guys.)

If you are simply changing the Jira project name, then you can go to Administration -> Jira Settings -> Manage Projects Tab and click on the existing Jira project key. When the detail slide out appears, change the Project Name field to the new name and Save.

To change the team name in Jira Align to reflect a new team name, go to Team -> Manage -> Show All+ -> Teams (or, use the blue search as I know you like to do), search on the existing team name, open the detail slide out and rename the team at the top of the page under the Team ID. Save.
