Editing an issue key

[Anthony Pomtree]

Is it possible to edit an issue's key after it has been created? I see where you can specify an issue key upon import, but no ability to update it once it is in JIRA.

[Radu Dumitriu · Accepted solution]

No, you cannot edit it. You can change it via DB, but I really would advise against it.

[Serhan EKİNCİ]

You can change it by moving the issue to another project via the  "More"

You can change the project key doing what's explained here:

As @Radu said making changes via DB it's not recommended.

[Ramiro Pointis]

That's why @Radu wrote that answer. I was just giving another possibility.

I would not want to change the project key, only an issue key.
