Changed project key not updating everywhere

[Manon Mackey]

I've changed my project name from ACP to WEB under project settings. The change is not reflected anywhere other than in the issue tracking number.

Hi @Manon Mackey 

Welcome to the community.

This is expected behaviour.

All schemes created on the initial setup of project have been made with the initial key name.

On changes the key used in the project, all these schemes worn't change. This is a manual action.

It would even not make sense if you schemes on multiple projects, then it would be even more necessary to give your schemes a common name.

Good to know. Thank you for the quick reply.

@Manon Mackey -

Welcome to the community.  When one changes the project key after project creation, only the data (i.e. issues) get automatically updated with the new project issue key.  All existing project schemes name(s) will remain un changed.
