The Atlassian Community can help you and your team get more value out of Atlassian products and practices.
This is the most effective solution. If you do it in DB, there may still be references hanging around and it won't fix attachments.
another workaround is to create a new project with the same configuration as the old project but edit the project key.
do a bulk move issues from old project to new project

Warning to future admins using this feature: editing the project key in JIRA does not migrate attachments nor does it create a new project key attachment directory (even for new issues after renaming).
This could be important if you have additional web services accessing files in the Jira attachment directory based off the project key (like I did).

Hello, I have changed a Next Gen project name from IT to OLDIT. The Project Key shows as OLDIT now - hwever - when I try to create a Classic Project called IT and specify using IT as the Project Key, I'm told that "Old IT Support uses this Project Key". How do I accomplish creating my new Classic Project with the Project Key I love?
