Renaming of groups should be possible

XMLWordPrintable

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      At the moment it isn't possible to rename a group once it is created. Since we use the groups sometimes to reflect out team structures and these are renamed from time to time, this causes a lot of effort because i always have to create a new group, reassign the members and then check all studio-components and replace the old group permissions with the new one.

      Especially if a group is used in many different projects, this is hard to maintain!

      I know that there is a proposal NOT to reflect the organisational structure within these groups. But creating per-project groups isn't even better, because then if people change the team, i have to modify all project roles instead of just reassigning him to his new organisational group.

      So from my perspective the possibility to change the name of a group would save me a lot of time and be a great improvement for the studio, so when will you implement it?

            Benjamin,

            I agree that it would be great to be able to rename groups. In the interest of openness, I have to admit that it is not likely that we will be able to add this ability soon, as it is a limitation not just of JIRA Studio itself, but of all of the products that make up Studio.

            You can look at these issues for more information and add your vote to show your support for this change:

            Additionally, FishEye, Crucible, and Bamboo would need to support group renaming, but I don't see any existing issues filed against those products.

            So I'm sorry to say that this is not likely to be possible in the near-term future.
