ID for EPIC and Tasks can it be different

[Munir Patel]

In a Jira cloud software project

EPIC unique ID starts with ABC-##

and also 

Tasks underneath continue to use ABC-##

This breaks the ## sequence for EPIC

Is there a way to see all EPICs with ABC-## and Tasks with XYZ-##

Example:

ABC-01

- XYZ-01

- XYZ-02

ABC-02

- XYZ-03

- XYZ-04

The identifier for an issue is <project key>-<sequence in project>

Epics don't care what project their stories are in, so yes, you can do exactly what you describe by having your Epics in project ABC and the issues(stories) in XYZ

[Munir Patel]

Both  EPICs and Tasks are in same project

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Then no, because the issue key is always <project>-<number>

Thanks Nic for your quick responses
