How do I add an underscore to the project key pattern?

I would like to have the following as my project key pattern: NAME_TITLE_3

Thanks,

If you want to go ahead in spite of the warnings from Nic and Thomas, here is what you need to do.

Go to Administration > General Configuration > Advanced and click on jira.projectkey.pattern property to modify it. You can use any valid regular expression without including . and - (theoretically!).

Hi,

I would not do this. This can result in real trouble. Look at the last comments on http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Project+Keys

Best Regards

I wouldn't recommend it either. I've let my users use numbers as the 2nd to nth characters in the project key, but I wouldn't do any more than that.

Thanks for you input.

I understand the risks about not being able to use some of the other features, but I would still like to know how it is done.

So if you could please let me know what setting I need for the project key pattern that would be great

Thomas's link is where to look, it's fully documented there. (With the reasons not to do it of course)

[Thomas Schlegel]

look here for how it is done: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+Project+Keys A little bit usage of google should guide you to perl regular expressions.

Thanks for the help

The statement that I ended up using is ([A-Z0-9_][A-Z0-9_]+)
