how do I change the name of a group?

[Eric Mitchell]

I would like to change the names of the groups below but I cannot find where this can be edited. Is this even possible?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist] · Accepted solution]

Its not possible in JIRA. See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1391 for more details. The same applies to onDemand I would think!

Is there an update on how to change a group name?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, it's not changed.

[Tom Lakerveld]

Well there is a more detailed explanation about changing the group names.
I haven't tried to run the update queries myself, but maybe it's a solution for you

-Edit-

Always make a backup of your database before running these update queries, as mentioned on the page this is not an intended functionality.

Thanks I see this request is under consideration

Hi There, 

Is there anyone found any way to change the group name ? 

If not, it's really a serious bug on Jira folks. Kindly some one let me know if there is a way

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Nope.  See Jobin's link.

Given the age of it, I'd say it's way down the list of priorities for improvement (it's not a "bug", there's nothing broken or wrong, it's just not something they've done)
