How do I adjust the item# sequence?

Question

I would like to adjust the item# sequence so things(under epics) are categorized by their number pool. Currently if I create all the initial items, then add some more, in say my first epic, the sequence continues from the last number. EXAMPLE BELOW. This problem really is more cosmetic but it can throw people off and would be much better if fixed. PLEASE help :)

No, there is no support for manipulating how the applications assigns issue keys for any type of project/board within JIRA. And the display of the issue key in screens such as the one you pasted is fundamental to the product, so you can't remove the display of the information.

Can you make the Items follow just the epic's lead instead of sequence. For example Epic 1- tasks- 1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4 Epic 2, 2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4....

It would be helpful if you could do that, or again just get rid of the numbers somehow, or use something else.

You understood the summary correctly. My question still looms though. Can you stop that from happening and or change it? Perhaps in a different project type or setting or board or something, it is a bit distracting.
