How to update the issue key of a project

[Asha]

Hello,

Is it possible to update/change the issue keys of a project?

Hi @Asha 

Can you also try updating the Key Configuration by navigating to
JIRA Administration panel -> 'System' -> 'Advanced Settings'
Search for the "jira.projectkey.pattern" property and Update the key

Hi @Asha and welcome to the Community!  Yes ~ you can change a project key via Project Settings > Details but there are some things you need to be aware of beforehand.  Have a look here.

Hello @Laurie Sciutti ,

 I think you have understood my question incorrectly. I have to update my issue key number  I am having count from HC-1 - HC300 but i want to make to HC-1300 - HC-1600.

Is there any way?

Ah!  Thanks for the clarification, @Asha .  Apparently this can be done by specifying it in a csv file for import:  https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-set-the-starting-issue-number-for-a-project-318669643.html 

I've not personally done this before but if you have a dummy project / dev environment, I would certainly test it out first.   If that doesn't work the way you want, you can also just do a bulk import of issues until you reach the desired key and then delete the ones you imported.  Not pretty, but it would work.

Hello @Laurie Sciutti ,

I think this solution work in project without any issues. But here I have a project with 300 issues.

May be I have to try the second option. But I have the subtasks, attachments and comments , which makes this complicated.
