Are there any plans to support changing a Space Key?

[orrin.ward]

Hi, at my company, the design team started out as just product design, and we created a Product Design space, and the creator of that space used the key PD.

We've subsequently grown a lot, and the broader design community have been actively using the PD space for a while, with lots of various things from other places linking through with hardcoded links to /PD/12345 pages.

We would love to change the Space Key to DESIGN and have old PD links redirect to it, in a similar manner as to what happens when you change the Project Key in Jira.

Is this possible? PD no longer reflects the purpose of the space. It also confused people (people think of it as Product Development/Product).

The redirect is quite important as we have so many places linking to the existing pages, which should gracefully redirect to a new space ID.

Hey @orrin.ward 

There is a feature request open with many votes here for changing space key https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-2085

Thanks. I found the workaround but not the request.

The workaround seemed... comprehensive and scary >_<
