Hello dear community,

 

Is it possible to have different prefixes for particular issues assigned to one project? For instance, I want to create Service Management project, with short name ITSM, so by the default all issues will go like ITSM-1, ITSM-2 and so on. Would it be possible to set:

Incidents like SMIN-1, SMIN-2, etc

Service requests like SMRE-1, SMRE-2 etc

and so on for other issue types in this project.

 

Thanks in advance

Jira's prefix's are determined by the "Project Key". Each Jira project gets a "Long name" and a "Key". 


If you created a single project called "Service Management" with a "key" of "ITSM", then all of your tickets will be ITSM-XXXX. 

It sounds like you might be coming from the service now space, where everything is essentially a single project with different "dressings". 

My recommendation would be to choose from 1 of 2 paths:
1. Create separate projects for each pre-fix, with only 1 issue type per project. 

example: "Incident Management" project with a key of "SMIN", where "Incident" is your own issue type.

Then you can create a single shared screen/field/workflow/permissions configuration (as appropriate) to make management easier on yourself.

Then create a single Dashboard or Software Board with queries to aggregate all of your projects in a single view.

This option would give you the prefixes you are looking for, while still maintaining a single configuration and a single view.

 

2. Use a single project with the understanding that all if your "issue keys" will be ITSM-XXXX, and then use automation to pre-pend each issue type with their preferred prefix in the Issue's summary field. 

ex. ITSM-1 is an incident issue type, so we would set up an automation rule to automatically apply "SMIN -" to the beginning of the summary whenever a new incident is created. 

This technically does not meet your requirements for actual pre-fixes in ticket numbers, but it does meet your requirement for a single project, although I'm always puzzled why the number of projects matters to people so much.
