Hi There,

 

I am wanting to re-use a project key in a new project. 

 

I have found in this article:  

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/edit-a-projects-details/

 

Reference to being able to do this, by changing the project key, and then deleting the previous project key : 

In the Previous project keys field, delete the relevant project key.

 

When I navigate to the project settings, I am unable to see this field. 

 

I have a specific use case for doing this, related to the recent change around maximum field entries in Jira Issues.

Hello @Elly Hyam-Hobden 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

According to the weekly blog, that feature is still being rolled out. It may not yet have been applied to your instance.

Search the above for "project keys".
